I’m committed to providing evaluations that are thorough, respectful, and grounded in a deep understanding of neurodiversity.My approach centers on creating a calm, supportive environment where you or your child can feel comfortable and understood. I view assessment as a collaborative process — one that helps clarify strengths, identify challenges, and offer meaningful insights that can guide next steps.Every individual’s experience is unique, and I tailor each evaluation to reflect that. My goal is to provide clear, compassionate feedback that empowers you with knowledge and supports your path forward.
My commitment to working with autistic adults is rooted in a deep respect for neurodiversity and a genuine appreciation for the strengths, insights, and resilience within the autistic community. I strive to create an environment where each person feels valued, understood, and empowered throughout the assessment process.I approach every evaluation with curiosity, care, and a recognition that each individual’s experiences are unique. My goal is to provide guidance that not only clarifies challenges but also highlights strengths and supports meaningful growth. Together, we can work toward a clearer understanding of your needs and a path forward that helps you feel supported and able to thrive.
I take an affirming, strengths‑based approach to my work, ensuring that every individual feels seen, valued, and empowered throughout the process. I believe each person brings unique abilities and perspectives that can be leveraged to navigate challenges and pursue meaningful goals. By listening deeply and validating their experiences, I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients can express themselves authentically and explore what they need to thrive.
