About

I am a licensed psychologist with a PhD in Psychology and a background in psychological assessment, autism evaluations, and developmental and behavioral health. I am passionate about helping individuals better understand themselves and the unique ways they experience and navigate the world.

Education & Licensure
PhD in Clinical Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, CA
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I view assessment as an opportunity for self-discovery, not simply a means of arriving at a diagnosis. Whether an evaluation provides confirmation of something you've suspected for years or offers a new perspective, my goal is to make the process thoughtful, supportive, and meaningful. I hope each person leaves with greater clarity, a deeper understanding of themselves, and practical guidance for moving forward.

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

My approach is warm, collaborative, and neurodiversity-affirming. I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and respected throughout the evaluation process. I recognize that autism can present in many different ways, and I value the opportunity to learn about each person's individual experiences, strengths, and challenges without making assumptions.
