About
Hello! Thank you for being here! I’m glad you’ve taken this step. I’m a dedicated psychologist who was born and raised in Southern California, and now split my time between the West Coast and the Gulf Coast. I am licensed in both CA and AL, and I truly love helping individuals better understand themselves and gain insight. I strive to create a warm, comfortable, and supportive experience throughout the assessment process, knowing that seeking an autism evaluation can be an important and sometimes vulnerable step for the individual.
My interest in working with autistic and neurodivergent clients is both personal and professional. I have family members who are on the spectrum, and that personal connection has helped me appreciate the importance of being understood, supported, and accepted for who you are. Since becoming a licensed psychologist in 2013, I’ve also noticed how limited the resources can be for neurodivergent adults, especially those who may be seeking answers or trying to better understand themselves later in life. I want to be part of changing that. I truly enjoy helping people make sense of their experiences.
I believe one of the most important things I can do is take the time to really see and listen to each person. Everyone has their own unique strengths, experiences, and ways of seeing the world, and I don’t believe those differences necessarily need to be “fixed.” I try to create a comfortable, judgment-free space where clients can be themselves and feel heard and understood. I also believe that learning more about how your brain works can be such a relief, and I enjoy helping people recognize their strengths and better understand themselves along the way.
