Therapy And Assessment Services
-
This service is designed for young people and adults experiencing diagnosed or suspected anxiety, OCD, ADHD, autism, and the stress associated with major life transitions. We begin with a thorough intake evaluation to inform a highly effective, personalized treatment plan. Together, we will work to reduce symptoms and build skills for lasting well-being.
I have experience with a variety of OCD presentations, including harm/responsibility, relationship, sexual, perfectionism, scrupulosity/morality, intrusive thoughts, checking, contamination, and related presentations.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD, is combined with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The two forms of therapy pair well to support changes in OCD-related behaviors and to address the emotional and cultural factors associated with each individual’s experience with OCD.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Thoughtfully adapted to be affirming and effective for neurodivergent clients with ADHD and autism.
ADHD Coaching: ADHD coaching helps you understand your unique brain wiring and builds practical, sustainable skills to make daily life work better. Sessions focus on improving executive functions like task initiation, planning, time management, and sustained attention, managing shutdowns or freezes, reducing impulsive decisions, and strengthening body‑awareness (interoception) with simple mindfulness techniques.
Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE): SPACE is a parent-based program that teaches caregivers practical skills to help children and young adults (ages 5 through adulthood) reduce anxiety-driven behaviors and build independence, whether their child is autistic or has ADHD, OCD, or general anxiety. SPACE focuses on family patterns that unintentionally maintain anxiety or avoidance, rather than on the child. It shows parents how to safely reduce accommodations and reassurances that reinforce worry or avoidance, and how to respond in ways that support age-appropriate responsibilities and confidence.

Parenting is rewarding, but it can also feel overwhelming when your child, from age 5 through late adulthood, is navigating anxiety, autism, ADHD, or OCD. These challenges are not a personal failure. In a calm, nonjudgmental space, I offer validation, emotional support, and clear, research-based guidance to help you respond in ways that support your child’s growth. I use SPACE, an evidence-based program for parents only, to teach caregivers how to reduce anxiety-maintaining patterns and foster independence without shaming or forcing. Your child does not need to attend sessions; parents learn step-by-step strategies and can see noticeable changes at home.
SPACE works well alongside your child’s individual treatment. This treatment is an excellent adjunct for children or adults already in individual therapy and may accelerate gains by aligning parent responses at home with therapeutic goals. I have experience with co-occurring conditions (e.g., OCD and autism, intellectual disability, ADHD) and work with caregivers of adult children, so strategies are tailored to complex profiles.

My autism assessment clinic operates in-person by appointment at Resilient Minds Collective in Alpharetta, Georgia. Our team offers comprehensive, gold-standard assessments for school-age children aged 6+, teens, and adult college students with suspected autism spectrum disorder, executive functioning issues, and learning differences. Our evaluations provide a thorough understanding of your child’s cognitive, adaptive, academic, and social functioning profile. You will receive a detailed report with clear, actionable recommendations, along with a formal letter to help you access the necessary services in the community and at the school (e.g., 504 Plan, Special Education Services).
Key Benefit: To minimize disruption to your family's routine, all assessment clinics are held on weekends.

You've mastered the art of high achievement, but it often comes at the cost of navigating constant internal overwhelm and burnout. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for neurodivergent adults with autism, ADHD, OCD, depression, and life stressors, tailored to your goals and daily life. I treat a wide range of OCD presentations (harm/responsibility, relationship, sexual, perfectionism, scrupulosity/morality, intrusive thoughts, checking, contamination) using ERP combined with ACT. I also offer skills-focused ADHD coaching for executive functioning and use CBT for depression and practical life challenges.
My approach blends practical tools, behavioral coaching, and emotional support, and is tailored to sensory and communication differences. I work collaboratively with you to build a clear, individualized plan that reflects your identity, culture, and preferences.
