Main Areas of Focus

 

Adult Autism Spectrum Difference (ASD) & Attention Deficit Hyperactivity (ADHD) Assessments

 

My approach is designed to empower you. By combining comprehensive tools like the MIDAS-2 and SRS-2 for Autism and the CAARS and Brown EF/A scales for ADHD, I provide a thorough and reliable assessment process tailored to your needs. Through questionnaires, discussions, and careful observations, we’ll uncover key insights to understand your unique traits and experiences better.

​

Getting a diagnosis can be life-changing. It’s not just an answer—it’s a key to unlocking your potential. For neurodiverse individuals, having clarity can lead to personal and professional breakthroughs. I know this firsthand as someone who is neurodiverse. My diagnosis helped me make sense of who I am and allowed me to thrive.

​

But my support doesn’t stop there. Alongside the assessment, I offer you and your family understanding, resources, and guidance. I focus on a holistic view—recognizing your strengths while addressing challenges from every angle. Together, we’ll build a clearer picture of your needs and celebrate the qualities that make you, you.

​

And if you choose to continue therapy with me, we’ll focus on your strengths first. You’ll develop new skills to boost your self-confidence, tackle obstacles, and grow into the best version of yourself. This isn’t just a process—it’s a partnership. One that’s committed to helping you thrive in ways that lead to genuine, lasting change.

 

Neurodiverse Couples Therapy & Coaching

 

If you’re navigating the complexities of a neurodiverse relationship, you deserve a therapist who truly understands your unique challenges. I bring something rare to the table—a powerful combination of clinical expertise, evidence-based strategies, and over 40 years of lived experience in marriage.

I know what it’s like to face life’s curveballs—loss, grief, financial strains, health struggles, even time apart from a partner. These experiences, paired with my counseling psychology training, give me an edge. I don’t just sympathize; I empathize.

​

My approach is unique because it blends practicality with heartfelt understanding. We’ll dig into actionable strategies while fostering a space where you feel heard, respected, and valued. Your individuality matters, and I’ll help both partners honor their differences while building deeper intimacy through vulnerability and acceptance.

​

It’s not about fixing; it’s about flourishing. Together, we’ll break unhelpful patterns, create stronger communication, and turn your relationship into a space for growth, love, and joy.
