About
Hello and welcome. It takes a lot of strength to be here. I am a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience, licensed in Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. I specialize in helping adults better understand themselves, particularly those who have felt overlooked, misunderstood, or unsure why certain aspects of life have felt more difficult for them compared to others. I bring a calm, thoughtful, and direct presence to the assessment process. I want to create an environment where you can speak openly and feel genuinely heard. My goal is to provide an assessment experience that is respectful, thorough, and grounded in an understanding of you as a whole person.
I chose to specialize in working with autistic and neurodivergent adults after seeing how often thoughtful, capable people were misdiagnosed or left without an explanation that truly fit their experiences. I became especially interested in neurodiverse and autistic adults with less obvious or atypical presentations, including those who have spent years masking and working hard to meet others' expectations while their needs were unrecognized. I believe an accurate understanding of neurodivergence can replace years of confusion and self-blame. I want you to leave your assessment process with language that helps you make sense of your life, communicate your needs, trust your experience, and treat yourself with more self-compassion.
My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, collaborative, and strengths-based. I look at both where you are struggling as well as the the qualities, abilities, values, and coping strategies that have helped you navigate your life. Parts of you that others may see as challenges might be connected to creativity, sensitivity, honesty, and/or deep focus. Rather than focusing on how you can become more like everyone else, I help identify what supports your well-being, what drains you, and how you can function more authentically and sustainably. My goal is to help you recognize your strengths, advocate for yourself, and move forward with more confidence and self-acceptance.
