Welcome

I serve clients across British Columbia virtually and in person in Surrey, BC and provide the following services:

• Neurodiversity-affirming psychological assessments, including autism, ADHD, and mental health assessments (ages 0 to adult). I specialize in subtle and high-masking cases, including girls, women, and late-diagnosed people.
• Post-diagnosis care and consultation for children, adolescents, and adults
• Professional consultation services for other mental health professionals focusing on neurodiversity, including autism assessments for girls, women, and other high-masking individuals.
• Workshops and learning opportunities for professionals who want to build their skills and understanding in supporting neurodivergent people.

What does Neurodivergent Flourishing mean?

• Neurodivergent flourishing means being supported to build a life that fits who you are, with space for your interests, relationships, needs, and ways of being.
• It begins with understanding how your brain works and recognizing that your needs are valid.
• It can involve discovering your strengths, making sense of challenges, finding more accessible environments, and having greater choice in your everyday life.
• Flourishing looks different for everyone.
• It might mean having enough energy for something you enjoy, feeling safe to communicate in your own way, finding people who understand you, or receiving the help you need at school, work, or home.
• Rest, accommodations, and ongoing support can all be part of flourishing.
• In my practice, this means looking beyond a diagnosis to understand the whole person.
• Through collaborative, neurodiversity-affirming assessment and consultation, I help people make sense of their experiences and identify supports that promote well-being, connection, and self-understanding.

Comprehensive Psychological Assessments

• People do not always fit neatly into one diagnostic category. Autism, ADHD, learning differences, anxiety, OCD, and other neurodevelopmental and mental health experiences can overlap and interact in complex ways.
• Rather than approaching assessments as separate, isolated evaluations, I take a comprehensive and individualized approach. This means looking beyond a single diagnosis to understand a person's unique strengths, differences, challenges, and support needs.
• Each assessment is guided by the individual's experiences, concerns, and goals. Depending on the referral questions, an assessment may explore:
• Autism, including PDA (Pervasive Drive for Autonomy) profiles
• Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Specific Learning Disorders (reading, writing, and math)
• Intellectual disabilities
• Giftedness and twice-exceptionality (2e)
• Executive functioning and attention
• Adaptive functioning (daily living skills and support needs)
• Anxiety, depression, and emotional well-being
• Complex neurodevelopmental profiles

Areas of consultation

• Understanding neurodivergence, including individual strengths, challenges, and support needs
• Clarifying eligibility for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC), Persons with Disabilities (PWD), and Community Living BC (CLBC)
• Recommendations and accommodations for school, post-secondary education, and the workplace
• Planning for transitions to adulthood
• Post-diagnosis education, consultation, and ongoing supports
• Professional consultation for autism assessments, including complex or subtle presentations, masking, PDA profiles, interpretation of assessment findings, differential diagnosis, and neurodiversity-affirming assessment practices

My commitment to inclusive, affirming care

I strive to provide neurodiversity-affirming, culturally responsive, and 2SLGBTQIA+ safe care. I approach each client as a whole person, recognizing the unique interplay of identity, lived experience, strengths, and support needs. My practice is grounded in respect, collaboration, and compassion.

I am committed to creating a space that affirms and welcomes individuals from historically and systemically marginalized communities — including, but not limited to, neurodivergent, 2SLGBTQIA+, Indigenous, racialized, and disabled people, as well as those with intersecting identities.

I acknowledge that meaningful inclusion requires continual reflection, learning, and change. I am dedicated to growing alongside the communities I serve and evolving my practice in ways that honour their voices, dignity, and autonomy.
