From Uncertainty to Understanding
For many, the journey to an ADHD or Autism diagnosis is filled with uncertainty and self-doubt. My assessments provide more than just answers—they offer validation, helping you make sense of lifelong challenges and uncover your unique strengths. I take a holistic approach that considers cognitive, sensory, and behavioral factors, ensuring a thorough and evidence-based understanding of your neurodivergence.
You are more than a checklist of symptoms. I listen carefully to your personal experiences so that your report reflects your full story and supports your need for accommodations or further support. With extensive expertise in psychological assessments, I deliver detailed, well-structured reports while ensuring the process is clear, compassionate, and efficient. If you’ve felt lost or misunderstood without a diagnosis, know that you are not alone—this is a space for affirming, inclusive care that truly values who you are.
How does this even work?
Book an Appointment
Getting started is simple—schedule an initial consultation to discuss your concerns and determine if an ADHD and/or Autism assessment is right for you. Once booked, you’ll receive intake forms and questionnaires to complete before your evaluation.
The Evaluation
Your evaluation includes a comprehensive clinical interview, standardized testing, and self-report measures to assess cognitive patterns, executive functioning, social communication, and sensory processing. The process may also include collateral input from a partner, family member, or other relevant sources, if applicable.
Review Report
After the evaluation, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining the findings, diagnostic impressions (if applicable), and personalized recommendations. In a follow-up session, we’ll go over your results, discuss next steps, and explore strategies for accommodations, support, or further resources.

An assessment provides validation and insight into your strengths and challenges. It can open doors to workplace or school accommodations, therapy, coaching, or medication options. Knowing your neurodivergent profile can also help improve self-acceptance and provide a roadmap for personal growth.
-
I specialize in assessing adults only for ADHD and Autism. Due to limitations with assessment registries, standardized testing availability, and developmental factors, I do not currently offer evaluations for children or adolescents. Many psychological assessments for younger individuals require school-based input, pediatric-specific testing measures, and additional collateral from teachers or caregivers, which may not align with my current practice. If you are seeking an evaluation for a child or teen, I recommend consulting a specialist trained in pediatric neuropsychological assessments. However, I am happy to provide referrals to trusted professionals who focus on younger populations.
-
You may be asked to complete pre-appointment questionnaires or provide previous medical, educational, or psychological records. It’s also helpful to reflect on specific challenges and life experiences that prompted you to seek an evaluation.
