About
Hello I’m Dr. G, a licensed psychologist practicing in Texas. I’m passionate about helping folx better understand themselves through a compassionate, collaborative, and culturally informed process. I know that seeking answers about your experiences, identity, and mental health can feel both vulnerable and overwhelming--my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and supported every step of the way.I strive to build trust and create a sense of safety so that clients feel comfortable exploring their experiences openly and authentically. Whether you’re pursuing an autism evaluation for clarity, self-understanding, accommodations, or personal healing, I’m here to walk alongside you with insight and care.
My motivation for working with autistic and neurodivergent clients is both personal and professional. As a mother to an autistic child, I’ve experienced firsthand the beauty, complexity, and challenges that can come with navigating a world that is not always designed with neurodivergent individuals in mind. That experience has strengthened my commitment to creating spaces where neurodivergent clients feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported—not pathologized.Professionally, I’ve found that many neurodivergent individuals, especially those who are BIPOC, LGBTQ+, first-generation, or navigating multiple marginalized identities, often carry experiences of masking, burnout, misunderstanding, or feeling “different” in ways that can deeply impact mental health and relationships. I’m passionate about offering a culturally inclusive and collaborative therapeutic space and assessment experience.
I bring an affirming and strength-based approach to my work by recognizing that neurodivergence is not something that needs to be “fixed,” but rather understood, supported, and honored. As both a clinician and a mother to an autistic child, I understand personally and professionally how exhausting it can feel to navigate spaces that may misunderstand neurodivergent ways of thinking, communicating, or experiencing the world. I strive to create a supportive, collaborative space where clients feel safe to unmask, better understand themselves, and move toward goals that feel meaningful and authentic to them.
