I provide neurodiversity-affirming and inclusive assessments focused on Autism and ADHD for adults. My approach integrates clinical tools, lived experience, narrative exploration, and a deep understanding of masking, camouflaging, and late-identified neurodivergence among queer, trans, and gender-expansive people, women, and others historically excluded from diagnosis.

Most assessments take 2–3 weeks, depending on scheduling and whether you choose to include optional collateral information. Reports are typically completed within a week after our final session.

In short - No. My assessments are not intended for formal accommodations or disability determinations.

My work focuses on understanding, meaning-making, and self-integration, supporting you in connecting the dots of your lived experience, building language for your neurotype, and cultivating self-compassion and alignment.

Because I am an LICSW, I can provide a clinically sound autism diagnosis; however, some institutions require documentation from psychologists or medical providers, and my assessment model is not designed to meet those systems’ specific requirements.

If you need and evaluation for accommodations, disability certification, or other formal services, I can provide referrals to clinicians who specialize in that work.

Private pay, or not taking insurance, is inequitable in many ways.

I name this directly because transparency matters, especially given the systemic barriers many neurodivergent, queer, and trans people face in accessing affirming assessment.

I use private pay because insurance companies often require narrow, deficit-based criteria, restrict the tools I can use, and do not reimburse for the time needed to conduct a holistic, person-centered, culturally responsive assessment. A private-pay model allows me to:

• Spend more time with each client

• Use strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming tools

• Honor identity and context

• Provide a detailed, integrative report rather than meeting insurance documentation requirements

I also recognize the burden this creates and try my best to offset this by offering a sliding scale (more information below) and providing a superbill on request for people to use out-of-network benefits.

Yes. I offer a sliding scale because I don’t want cost to be the barrier that prevents someone from getting clarity and support.

I offer three rate options for each tier: full fee, equity rate (15% discount), and community access rate (30% discount). You are invited to choose the rate that aligns with your financial circumstances, caregiving responsibilities, and access to resources. No documentation is required.

A limited number of equity-rate and community-access assessment slots are available. Due to high demand, I prioritize reduced-fee slots for individuals facing systemic barriers to diagnosis, including Black, Indigenous, and people of color, LGBTQIA2S+, and disabled community members. If those slots are full, I maintain a waitlist and will contact you as soon as the next one opens. Please reach out for more information about sliding fee options.

Yes. While I do not bill insurance directly, I can provide a superbill upon request. A superbill is a detailed receipt you can submit to your insurance company to request out-of-network reimbursement.

Please note that reimbursement is not guaranteed and varies by plan; I encourage people to check their out-of-network benefits first.

Payment is due at the time of scheduling.

You may:

• Pay in full upon scheduling, or

• Pay half when you schedule and the remaining half before the feedback session and final report.

Absolutely. As a queer, trans, and neurodivergent (AuDHD) clinician myself, my work is grounded in affirmation, transparency, and lived experience. This is a space where masking is not required and where you get to show up fully as yourself.
