About
Hi, I'm Anwuri or "Dr. O"! I'm a licensed psychologist in Wisconsin, and I've spent much of my career helping people better understand themselves, their experiences, and the ways their brains work. I believe an assessment should be more than a checklist or a diagnosis. It should be an opportunity to feel heard, make sense of experiences that may have been difficult to put into words, and walk away with a clearer understanding of yourself. My background includes neurodevelopmental assessment, pediatric psychology, and health psychology. Whether you're exploring autism for the first time or have been wondering about it for years, my goal is to make the process thoughtful, collaborative, and genuinely useful to you.
I've always been curious about how people think, process information, and experience the world differently. That curiosity, paired with my own appreciation for neurodiversity, is a big part of what drew me to this work. I know that for many adults, exploring an autism diagnosis comes after years of adapting, masking, questioning themselves, or feeling misunderstood. Sometimes there's relief in finally having an explanation. Other times, there are more questions. What keeps me passionate about this work is the opportunity to help people make sense of their experiences without reducing them to a diagnosis. I want you to leave with more than an answer. I want you to leave with a better understanding of yourself.
I approach assessments with curiosity, compassion, and the understanding that you are the expert on your own lived experience. Rather than focusing only on what's difficult, I also want to understand your strengths, how you've learned to navigate the world, and what may have gone unrecognized along the way. I ask thoughtful questions, explain what we're doing and why, and make room for your questions throughout the process. My style is warm, collaborative, and straightforward. I don't believe in forcing everyone's experiences into the same mold. My goal is to provide a space where you can show up as yourself and receive feedback that's clear, respectful, and meaningful to your life.
