About My Clients

My clients are adults seeking testing for autism or ADHD. Maybe a family member was recently diagnosed, you've been given diagnoses that don't make sense, or you're tired of being told your struggles are "all in your head," just try harder" and "stop being lazy." Maybe you found neurodivergent social media and finally feel understood. I believe you when you say you feel different. Together we can together to discover the why behind this feeling, giving you the freedom to rewrite your story.

My Background and Approach

My holistic, neurodivergent, and diversity affirming approach to testing focuses not only on areas of struggle, but also on strengths and skills. Through the testing process, I will look at the experiences you've had in interpersonal relationships and societal systems of oppression, and how this impacts your behaviors and beliefs toward of self, others, and the world. I don't believe the role of a testing psychologist is to be a diagnostic gatekeeper. My job is to be an investigator. I don't work to say you aren’t having difficulties. I work to help you find out WHY you're having the struggles you report. Because of this my approach to testing does not only focus on making a diagnosis, it also focuses on ensuring you gaining a with a deeper understanding of yourself and a greater hope for the future.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I have been conducting psychological testing since 2008 and recognize that testing measures are often researched and normed on cis-gendered, white, individuals. This can lead to results that over-pathologize folx who may not align with those identities. I take care to interpret measures from an anti-racist and 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming lens. I have a strong passion for the fight for social justice and equity. This belief drives me to strive toward deconstructing the colonial paradigm my training was grounded in and translating that in my own practice. Part of this is acknowledging and addressing my privilege as a white woman in the world and how that can show up in my work. A little about me, I'm a native of the Midwest but now call the Pacific Northwest home. I am a veteran of the USMC. In my spare time you might find me reading a good speculative fiction novel, working in my garden, or playing the ukulele.
