My approach blends evidence-based practices with genuine empathy, ensuring that every assessment is not just a clinical process but an opportunity for growth, clarity, and hope. My goal is to empower clients and their families with the insights and resources they need to thrive. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey.

Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I am deeply passionate about the power of accurate assessment as the foundation for meaningful change. I believe that a precise and thorough evaluation is the first and most crucial step toward ensuring that individuals receive the right support and interventions for their unique needs. My commitment to this work stems from seeing how the right diagnosis can open doors to effective treatment, greater understanding, and the best possible outcomes for each person and their family. It is incredibly rewarding to know that my role in the assessment process can help guide clients toward a path of growth, empowerment, and success.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

My approach centers on truly seeing and honoring each individual’s unique strengths and capabilities. I believe that everyone has gifts to offer, and my role is to help clients and their families recognize and build upon those strengths. Rather than focusing solely on challenges, I use a compassionate and affirming lens throughout the assessment process, ensuring that each person feels valued and understood.
