About My Clients
I offer formal adult Autism and ADHD assessments for individuals seeking diagnosis, validation, or support. I enjoy working with clients looking for neuro-affirming therapy, clients feeling curious about their relationship with alcohol, and clients struggling with trauma and attachment wounds.
My Background and Approach
I know the specific, quiet ache of being misunderstood; my path to becoming a therapist began in my teens, fueled by a need to understand the mental health struggles I couldn’t yet name. Today, as a late-diagnosed autistic and sober person, I don’t just study these experiences—I have lived them. My approach is where lived experience meets high-level clinical precision. I earned a BA in Psychology with a minor in Applied Psychology at UCSB and a MS in Counseling Psychology at CSULB. I am deeply committed to staying at the cutting edge of psychological science, seeking out ongoing trainings in my therapeutic modalities to ensure precise and tailored care. I am EMDR trained through EMDRIA to effectively process trauma, and I am currently working toward EMDR certification with the guidance of a consultant. I specialize in the assessment of ADHD and Autism in high-masking adults using the Cherry AADI diagnostic interview.
