I have had the privilege of working with individuals across the lifespan with a range of concerns and diagnoses, but working with neurodivergent individuals has always been something I have particularly enjoyed. While much of my work with neurodivergent individuals has been with children and adolescents, I recognize that many have reached adulthood without having had access to an evaluation. I feel strongly that those who have felt misunderstood or dismissed, or who have been misdiagnosed in the past, deserve validation and a thorough evaluation. I am committed to ensuring that you feel heard, receive clear feedback, and feel prepared to take the next steps in accessing supports that will help you maximize your strengths and effectively navigate through challenges.

I approach each assessment with a focus on identifying not only your challenges, but also your unique strengths. I aim to create a supportive, affirming, and collaborative space throughout the assessment process, where you feel comfortable to openly and authentically share your experiences and concerns. My goal is to validate your feelings while bringing your insights and my expertise together to provide thoughtful answers to your questions. I value transparency, clear communication, and straightforward and practical feedback to ensure that, whether or not a diagnosis is appropriate, you have the tools you need to be successful moving forward.
