Whether this is your first or the millionth therapist you have reached out to, you are taking the time to find the best fit. Have you diagnosed yourself with autism? Or felt an autism diagnosis is the missing part of your life? Maybe you have felt “different” your whole life, or perhaps you recently started exploring the possibility of neurodivergence. You may be struggling to connect with others or simply to survive day-to-day. Perhaps you’re feeling frustrated and want the answers you have been searching for.
It may feel impossible now, but you can get the answers you need. You can be able to explain your experience to others. You can get the support you need and deserve. And I can help you get there. My process includes tailoring your assessment to your unique needs and circumstances. My autism assessments are affirming, transparent, and strength-based.
