It does not have to be this hard.
Testing for ADHD and/or Autism can be a great first step to deepen your understanding of your experience and connect to professional supports to ease this burden that you are currently carrying alone.
My schedule for virtual adult ADHD and Autism evaluations is open.
Availability is limited, so I encourage you to schedule a free consultation now to secure a testing spot at the current rate. I will honor the current rates for folks who complete consultations and schedule intakes before Feb 1, 2026*.
How I Approach ADHD & Autism Evaluations
My evaluations are neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive. I don't believe in reducing people to scores or checklists. Instead, I take time to understand your full story: your development, lived experiences, masking, burnout, strengths, and the systems you've had to navigate.
Many people come to me after years of wondering, second-guessing themselves, or being misunderstood by providers who didn't fully see them. My goal is not to label what's "wrong," but to help you make sense of your experiences with clarity, care, and respect.
What Does a Thoughtful Testing Process Actually Look Like?
If you've been exploring ADHD or Autism testing as an adult, or just wondering what kind of support might help, you've probably run into a lot of big, clinical terms. So let's break it down. When I say my testing process is:
🖥️ Virtual
đź’› Trauma-Informed
🌍 Culturally Responsive
🧠Neurodiversity-Affirming
Virtual Testing That Fits Your Life
No fluorescent lights. No awkward waiting rooms.
My evaluations are 100% online, so you can show up:
in your comfiest clothes
from your coziest couch
with your pet or a snack in hand (and yes, bring those fidgets!)
All without fighting traffic or worrying about being "on" in a clinical space.
Trauma-Informed: Your Story in Full Context
This isn't just a buzzword. Being trauma-informed means I:
ask about trauma history with care and consent
respect your pacing
recognize how trauma may shape your symptoms, adaptations, and past diagnoses
This lens shapes every part of the process, from how I interpret your story to the recommendations I offer.
Culturally Responsive: No One-Size-Fits-All
I look at the whole picture:
how your identities, values, and lived experiences shape how you move through the world
how systems may have failed to see or support you, and also any ways that systems have supported you
how the measures I use were created, and whether they reflect people like you
We may talk about:
code switching
assimilation
how you've navigated belonging across different spaces
Your full self is welcome here.
Neurodiversity-Affirming: You Are Not a Deficit
You are not broken. You are not a list of symptoms. You are a whole human being with:
a unique brain
incredible resilience in the face of this often non-inclusive world
strategies you've developed over a lifetime, some so ingrained you barely notice them
We'll talk about things like masking, coping, and how to understand rather than pathologize your experience.
This process is not about proving something's wrong with you. It's about:
honoring your lived experience
getting clarity
making space for you to be more fully yourself
Making a Long Day of ADHD Testing Feel a Little Easier
A full day of virtual testing for ADHD and Autism sounds like a lot. And it is! But it doesn't have to feel quite so overwhelming.
When we work together, I intentionally design your testing day to be as comfortable, respectful, and affirming as possible. Because I know your brain deserves to be supported exactly as it is, and it actually helps me write a better report!
Here's how I help make the process more doable:
Flexible breaks
Need to move around? Refuel? Just not talk to a person for a minute? Totally normal. Breaks are built into the process and can be added whenever you need.
Sensory-friendly pacing
Whether you need silence, dimmed lighting, or a fidget in your hand, you're welcome to set up your space in whatever way works for you. I also keep my instructions clear and unhurried, so you're never left guessing what's next.
Check-ins along the way
We don't just push through. I'll check in with you periodically to see how you're feeling and if anything needs adjusting.
Respect for your rhythms
Whether you're a morning thinker or your brain lights up after lunch, I want to know what's happening for you at different times during the testing day. This helps me better understand how your brain works. Your rhythms are part of your story, and I include them in my thinking about your experience to get the clearest, most compassionate picture of who you are.
No masking required
I invite you to show up just as you are. That means you don't need to "perform" or just "push through" if you're tired, distracted, or need to stim. This is a space to be honest about how your brain works, not to hide it. Annnd I know how hard unmasking can be, so after the testing day, I'll invite you to message me and tell me more about your experience.
Care for after the testing day
It's completely normal to feel tired, emotionally drained, or even a little exposed after a full day of exploring your inner world. That's why I don't just leave you hanging. I offer gentle, personalized recommendations for what to do after testing, whether that's how to rest, reset, or connect with a trusted person to process anything that came up. Your wellbeing matters after the Zoom window closes too.
Testing doesn't have to be a dreaded day. It can be a process of curiosity, care, and clarity.
Why This Might Be the Right Time
If you've been feeling overstimulated, stuck, exhausted, or unsure why certain things have always felt harder for you, an evaluation can be a meaningful step. Gaining clarity around ADHD or Autism can help you:
Understand lifelong patterns with more compassion
Reduce shame and self-blame
Access appropriate supports or accommodations
Make informed choices about work, school, relationships, and care
Move forward with greater self-trust and confidence
