"If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."
As a neurodivergent industrial and organizational psychologist, clinical therapist, coach, and speaker, I bring a unique and invaluable perspective to my work and I am beyond passionate about neurodiversity! I didn't learn to understand my neurodivergence until my early 30's, but learning to lean in and proactively support myself and my loved ones has led to such amazing growth and change in every aspect of my life. Now I help others do the same through diagnosis, therapy, and coaching. My specialization is in higher-functioning adult neurodiversity, especially in females and non-traditional presentations. I have realized that the reality of neurodiversity is so much more beautifully complex and varied than anyone gave it credit for, and I am dedicated to supporting individuals and organizations in their pursuits to understand and embrace the inherent beauty and value in neurodiversity.
In my role as a therapist and coach, I play a pivotal role in helping adults navigate and embrace their neurodiversity, whether it's their own or that of a loved one. My expertise allows me to provide crucial guidance and support, empowering individuals to recognize their strengths and manage any challenges associated with their neurodiversity. I offer adult and adolescent Autism and ADHD diagnostic consultations, individual therapy, and relationship and parenting coaching, and education. I always look at neurodiversity through a strengths-based perspective, and I always strove to validate and support each individual journey.
As an industrial and organizational psychologist, I collaborate with organizations and teach them to foster neuro-inclusive workplaces, where neurodiversity is just as commonplace as neurotypicality. I am passionate about helping companies recognize and leverage the unique talents and perspectives that neurodivergent employees bring to the table. I am proud to work as a speaker and help amplify neurodivergent voices. I am passionate about redefining awareness and understanding of neurodiversity within organizational settings. By sharing insights and best practices, I am privileged to advocate for the importance of embracing diversity, equity, and neuro-inclusion.

Adult Neurodiversity (Autism/ADHD) Evaluation & Consult (18+ years): $900
Organizational Neurodiversity Consulting & Speaking Opportunities: Please Inquire
Neurodiversity consultations are virtual meetings focused not only on screening and diagnosing Autism and ADHD, but teaching people to understand and support their neurodiversity. These consults are mostly for adults (18+) but I work with adolescents on a case-by-case basis. These 2-hour consultations provide immediate answers and combine teaching with assessment to help clients understand some of the science behind their neurodiverse experiences. By the end, you’ll feel confident, validated, and prepared for what’s next on your neurodivergent journey.
During the consultation, we will use the "gold standard" psychological tests (ADOS-2 & ADI-R) to discuss how your neurodiversity affects you and explore potential accommodations. I can assist with most paperwork for academic and/or professional accommodations but cannot help with unemployment, state or federal financial or disability programs, like SSI or SSDI. For those needs, please consult a local neuropsychologist for a comprehensive evaluation.

What is Neurodiversity?
Neurodiversity is a disability rights movement supporting the premise that Autism (including Asperger's-type profiles), ADHD, PTSD, etc. are normal variations of the human brain and thought process. These differences should be celebrated and supported, not discriminated against or considered "less than".

Payment and Insurance
Payment is due in full at the time of the consult or session. If you schedule a consult or session and do not show up or provide notification of the need to reschedule 24 hours in advance, you will be charged a cancellation fee of $225. Please note that I do not accept insurance and am an out-of-network provider. I am happy to provide you with an invoice or superbill so you can attempt to submit the claim to your insurance for potential reimbursement independently. There is no guarantee in therapy, nor is there a guarantee that your insurance company will accept the claim for reimbursement; each plan is different.
