The most important relationship we can all have is the one you have with yourself, the most important journey you can take is one of self-discovery.
Knowing yourself is the beginning of all Wisdom.

As part of our services, I provide a highly personalized experience and remain available by email to answer questions before, during, and after evaluations. I am especially passionate about supporting individuals who are neurodivergent, with a particular focus on autism. My work with autism began during graduate school in the early 2000s and has continued throughout my career. At the Georgia Institute of Technology, I specialized in psychological assessment and counseling for students with ADHD, autism, learning differences, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. In addition to direct clinical work, I supervised doctoral and postdoctoral trainees and collaborated closely with Disability Services to guide academic accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Over time, I developed a deep focus on autism and ADHD in adults and in populations that are often overlooked, especially women and girls, gender and race diverse individuals, high-masking clients, and those with a PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) profile—who may present differently than traditional diagnostic models assume. There remains a shortage of providers experienced in assessing these groups and I am committed to compassionate, neurodivergent-affirming evaluations that highlight both strengths and challenges. While these are areas of special focus, I also provide evaluations for cisgender men, children, and teens, as well as assessments for learning disabilities, mood, and anxiety concerns.

Assessment Options

I provide Neurodiversity Affirming evaluations for ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), or a combined ADHD + ASD assessment. A Neurodiversity-Affirming assessment means that ADHD and autism are not viewed as problems to be “fixed,” but as natural differences in how people think and experience the world. Clinically, this approach goes beyond test scores, it values your lived experience, your story, and how challenges and strengths show up in everyday life. My goal is not only to identify areas where support is needed, but also to highlight your abilities and provide practical, meaningful recommendations that reflect who you are.

Assessments can be completed as either a Screening or a Comprehensive Evaluation, depending on your needs. Assessments are tailored to your goals—whether you are seeking personal clarity or require detailed documentation for school, work, or treatment planning. With decades of experience in ADHD and autism assessment, I approach every evaluation as a collaborative and validating process. My aim is to ensure you leave with clear next steps, practical recommendations, and support that extends beyond the appointment.

Option 1: Screening (ASD or ADHD - $600, Combined - $700)

A focused assessment designed for individuals who want clarity and insight without the need for formal documentation.

  • Completion of intake paperwork and standardized questionnaires (scored and reviewed before your visit)

  • A clinical/diagnostic interview, with the option to include input from a partner, family member, or friend who knows you well (collateral information is optional)

  • A computerized attention measure is included in the ADHD screenings

  • Approximately two hours of assessment time

  • Screening for co-occurring concerns such as anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, or bipolar spectrum symptoms

  • If diagnostic criteria are met, a formal diagnosis is provided and verbal diagnostic impressions and treatment recommendations are shared at the end of the session

  • An optional medical letter for documentation needs can be added ($100). Please note that this letter states the diagnosis and does not replace a comprehensive psychological evaluation. For schools, standardized testing boards, or disability applications, a full evaluation with a written report is typically required

Best for: Individuals seeking self-understanding and diagnostic clarity when no written report is required.

Option 2: Comprehensive Evaluations (ASD or ADHD - $2850, Combined - $3850)

An in-depth assessment designed for those who need a complete diagnostic profile and formal documentation.

  • Includes everything provided in Option 1

  • Additional testing to more thoroughly assess ADHD/ASD, and co-occurring psychiatric concerns (e.g., anxiety, depression, trauma/complex trauma, OCD, bipolar spectrum)

  • A detailed clinical interview exploring developmental, social, academic, occupational, and psychiatric history

  • Two separate appointments for interviews/testing, plus a feedback session to review findings

  • Optional collateral input from parents, partners, or other important informants

  • A comprehensive written report (typically 35–50 pages) summarizing background history, test results, diagnostic impressions, and personalized recommendations

Best for: Individuals needing formal documentation for school or workplace accommodations, disability applications, treatment planning, or anyone seeking a thorough understanding of strengths and challenges.

If you are unsure which option is right for you, I am happy to discuss your goals and help guide you to the best fit.
