I complete comprehensive adult autism evaluations and diagnoses, helping individuals gain clarity, understanding, and access to appropriate supports. I work with individuals with neuromprehensive adult autism evaluations and diagnoses, helping individuals gain clarity, understanding, and access to appropriate supports. I work with individuals with neurodivergence, including Autism, ADHD, and PTSD, as well as complex cases involving comorbidities, dual diagnosis, and misdiagnosis.

​

As a neurodivergent professional diagnosed as an adult with AuDHD, I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to my practice. I understand the challenges of late diagnosis, social anxiety, misdiagnosis, and academic or self-esteem difficulties—so I provide care that is validating, strengths-based, and compassionate.​

​

I am a Certified Autism Specialist, EMDR-trained, fully bilingual in English and Spanish, and an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist and dedicated ally. My practice is a safe, inclusive space where clients can gain clarity, self-understanding, and access to meaningful supports.​ Outside of work, I enjoy swimming, traveling, reading, and spending time with my family.​​
