Many adults come to this process after years, or even decades, of quietly wondering:

“Why does this feel harder for me than it seems to for other people?”
“Why am I exhausted by things others handle easily?”
“How can I be capable in so many ways, yet still struggle in others?”

If that resonates, you are not alone—and you are not “too late” to understand yourself more clearly.

I specialize in comprehensive autism and ADHD evaluations for adults, including individuals who may have been overlooked earlier in life, such as high-masking, high-achieving, or internally struggling adults who have learned to cope, but at a cost.

My evaluation services are private pay, so you do not have to worry about your diagnosis being in the hands of your insurance company.

Who This Evaluation Is For

This process is designed for adults who:

• Have long felt “different,” but may not know why

• Are successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed or burned out internally

• Struggle with focus, follow-through, or organization despite strong intelligence

• Experience sensory sensitivities (noise, textures, overwhelm)

• Find social interactions effortful, confusing, or draining

• Have been previously diagnosed with anxiety, depression, or burnout—but feel like something deeper may be going on

• Are wondering about autism, ADHD, or both

Many of my clients have spent years adapting to environments that weren’t built for how their brains naturally work.

What Makes My Process Different

This is not a rushed or checkbox-style evaluation.

My approach is:

• Neurodiversity-affirming – focused on understanding your brain, not pathologizing it

• Comprehensive – looking at the full picture, including strengths, patterns, and lived experience

• Thoughtful and collaborative – you are an active participant in making meaning of your profile

• Low-stress and supportive – designed to feel manageable, not overwhelming

• private and convenient - a private-pay evaluation ensures diagnostic information is not shared with insurance companies or included in medical records beyond your control.

Many clients tell me this is the first time they have felt truly understood.

What the Evaluation Includes

Your evaluation is tailored to you, but typically includes:

• A detailed clinical and developmental interview

• Standardized rating scales for autism, ADHD, and related areas

• Input from a parent or someone familiar with your early development (helpful, but not required)

• In-depth exploration of sensory, social, and behavioral patterns

• Differential diagnosis (e.g., autism vs. ADHD vs. anxiety)

• A comprehensive written report with detailed recommendations

• A personalized feedback session to review results and next steps

What You Will Walk Away With

This process is not just about a diagnosis—it’s about clarity and direction.

Clients leave with:

• A clear understanding of whether autism and/or ADHD are present

• Language to describe their experiences

• Insight into lifelong patterns and challenges

• Practical, individualized recommendations

• Documentation for workplace or academic accommodations (if needed)

• A greater sense of self-understanding and validation

For many people, this process is deeply relieving—it helps make sense of things that have never quite added up before.

Why Seek an Evaluation as an Adult?

Understanding your neurotype can help you:

• Reduce burnout and chronic overwhelm

• Improve self-compassion

• Make more aligned life and career decisions

• Access appropriate supports and accommodations

• Strengthen relationships through better self-understanding

It’s not about labeling—it’s about making your life make sense.

Next Steps

If you’re considering an evaluation, the next step is a brief consultation to determine fit and answer your questions.

You don’t need to have it all figured out before reaching out.

You just need to be curious enough to begin.
