What services do I offer?
Treatment
I provide therapeutic treatment services for adults on the autism spectrum with co-occurring conditions including anxiety, depression, ADHD and executive functioning challenges.
I work from a neurodivergent affirming approach, supporting each of my clients to help them understand the characteristics of autism and how they apply to them as well as developing goals for us to work on together
I draw from cognitive and family systems approaches primarily. All therapy session are tailored to each of my clients individual needs.
Therapy sessions are offered in-person and through telehealth.
Diagnostic Evaluations
I currently offer several different types of evaluations. Please be aware that all formal testing must be completed in-person.
Peace of Mind
This consists of four 50-minute sessions where we don't do any formal testing, but we go through the diagnostic criteria and some autism specific questioning informally. At least one appointment must be completed in-person.
If you qualify for a diagnosis, you will be sent a letter to confirm the diagnosis.
Standard Evaluation
This consists of approximately 3 appointments (plus feedback) where we go through formal testing (diagnostic interview, autism specific testing, screening for ADHD, and self report questionnaires).
You will receive a formal report once your evaluation is complete.
Comprehensive Evaluation
This consists of 3-4 appointments (plus feedback) where we go through formal autism specific testing (diagnostic interview, autism specific testing, screening for ADHD, and self report questionnaires) and also include cognitive testing. This can be helpful if there are difficulties in cognitive tasks etc.
You will receive a formal report once your evaluation is complete, which can be used for SSI applications.
Consultation and Training
I offer consultation and training services to individuals, families, providers, educators, and other professionals who have questions about autism spectrum disorder and want to have a better understanding of the condition and how it affects individuals. I have worked with individuals on the autism spectrum across the lifespan for 25 years as well as their families and have collaborated with a variety of professionals, school districts, and colleges throughout Oregon and SW Washington.
I also provide consultations, evaluation services, and expert witness testimony in legal cases. These cases are typically coordinated through an attorney.
