About

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist based in Texas and authorized to provide telehealth services across 39 PSYPACT states. I specialize in comprehensive autism evaluations for adults, helping people gain clarity, self-understanding, and confidence in their neurodivergent identities.My approach is neurodiversity-affirming—I don’t view autism as something to be fixed, but as a valid and valuable way of experiencing the world. I strive to create a space that feels safe, collaborative, and judgment-free, where you can show up as your full self and feel truly seen.

Education & Licensure
PhD in Clinical Psychology from California School of Professional Psychology, Los Angeles; Bachelors in Psychology from University of Maryland
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I was drawn to this work after meeting so many bright, insightful adults in my practice as a therapist who spent years feeling misunderstood or unseen. It's deeply meaninful to me to support people as they connect the dots of their life experiences and begin to understand themselves more fully.Whether you’re seeking diagnostic clarity, self-knowledge, or a place to explore your story, I bring warmth, curiosity, and respect to every assessment I conduct.

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

My goal is to help clients recognize their strengths, understand their needs, and use that insight to build a life that feels more aligned and authentic.Rather than focusing solely on challenges, I look for the abilities, perspectives, and patterns that make each person unique. I’m an active and empathetic listener who genuinely cares about the people I work with. I take time to understand each person’s story and to make the assessment process feel collaborative and respectful.
