About
Hello! My name is Chris, and I am so glad you are here. I recently moved to Arizona, and I am excited to help you find clear answers about your unique brain. For over 10 years in my own practice and 15 years in schools, I have helped individuals of all ages (2 through 63 years old) just like you understand themselves better through specialized testing. Through Prosper Health, my focus is purely on providing adult Autism evaluations to help you find the "missing pieces" of your life puzzle. I know that looking for answers can feel overwhelming, so I promise to meet you exactly where you are with a kind, safe, and warm heart. If our testing shows that something other than Autism is causing your struggles, I will not hesitate to refer you to trusted specialists so you can get the exact answers you need.Your comfort, safety, and trust are the most important things to me. I have extensive, special training to make sure you get the absolute best care. I have a certification in online care, and I completed advanced training from Nationwide Children’s Hospital to do Autism testing virtually as well as training in gold standard assessment that will help in our work together (e.g., ADOS and MIGDAS). This means we can do your evidence-based and complete Autism evaluation right from the comfort and safety of your own couch! I am also trauma-informed, which means I look at your whole life story with deep care and zero judgment. Through my years of doing therapy and testing, I have learned that listening to your real, lived experiences is just as important as my advanced training. I cannot wait to work with you to see how we can team up to help you understand your beautiful, neurodivergent brain!
I have always wanted to help people. Growing up, my mother was a social worker, and I also helped raise my niece. They taught me how to care for others with a big heart.Over the years, I saw that autistic and neurodivergent people often struggle to find the right guidance in our world. I wanted to change that. I learned that my patient style helps people feel safe and understood. My goal is to truly learn about you as a person. I want to use my years of experience to help you find your greatest purpose, feel proud of who you are, and find true success in life. No matter what the results of your assessment are, my biggest hope is that this journey helps you take the next step down your path to being happy, healthy, and safe.
I bring an affirming and strength-based approach by looking at what you do best. I do not see you as a problem to be fixed. Instead, I look at your unique brain as a special strength.During our time together, I want to learn about what makes you happy, what you are good at, and what makes you special. I use my training to help you see those strengths, too. My goal is to make sure you feel proud of exactly who you are so you can use your talents to find success.
