Many adult Autism assessments are long, can cost multiple thousands of dollars, use testing measures created for children, and are not affirming of Autistic identities. My goal is to create an affirming assessment process that's comprehensive but still affordable.

​

I view Autism as a neurotype, rather than a disorder that needs to be treated or fixed. Discovering your Autistic identity can be an important first step to better understanding yourself, finding self acceptance and learning how to accommodate your needs.  

​

I have received training for Masters level clinicians for diagnosing Autism and ADHD, and I engage in regular consultation from other professionals in this area.

​

My assessment process uses various self report measures along with structured clinical interviews, however, it is not a neuropsychological assessment. 

​

You might be a good fit for an assessment with me if:

• You're already self diagnosed or considering the possibility of an Autistic identity.

• You're looking for confirmation from a professional. 

• You don't need a letter for accommodations or disability benefits. 

• You're located in California.
