As a neurodivergent clinical therapist with a PhD in industrial and organizational psychology specializing in adult neurodiversity in the workplace, 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 strengths assessments, problem-solving, and therapy. My specialization is in high-masking 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, I play a pivotal role in helping adults navigate and embrace 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 Autism and ADHD consultations, individual therapy, and educational support. I always look at neurodiversity through a strengths-based perspective, and I always strive to validate and support each individual journey.
As an industrial and organizational consultant, 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.

Organizational Neurodiversity Consulting & Speaking Opportunities: Please Inquire
Neurodiversity consultations are virtual meetings focused not only on assessing the potential of Autism and ADHD but also on teaching people to understand and support their or their loved ones' 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.
I inform the consultation with my knowledge of the psychological tests (ADOS-2 & ADI-R) and years of experience to discuss how your neurodiversity affects you and explore potential accommodations. I can help with academic accommodations, but I am not assisting with workplace accommodations. I do not help with unemployment or 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".
