What sets our process apart?
What sets my process apart is the focus on thoughtful, individualized evaluation rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. I don’t rely on quick checklists or surface-level screening.
Adult ADHD and autism often present in complex ways, especially when combined with anxiety, trauma, or long-standing coping strategies. My approach is to carefully understand how symptoms developed over time and how they function in daily life.
I use structured methods and targeted testing to differentiate these factors, with the goal of providing a clear, accurate understanding—not just a label. Clients leave with both insight and practical direction for next steps.
