About My Practice

“My work is always guided by two principles: do the right thing and do it with care.”

Parents of neurodivergent adults often carry a level of responsibility, vigilance, and emotional strain that the outside world rarely sees. The caregiving role does not disappear with adulthood. It becomes more complex, more enduring, and at times, more isolating.

With more than 25 years of service as a U.S. Air Force psychologist, I bring extensive clinical experience to this work. But what sets my practice apart is that my understanding is not solely professional. As a parent of a neurodivergent adult, I know firsthand that the realities of caregiving are deeply personal and ongoing.

I work with parents who are managing the long-term emotional demands of supporting an adult child on the spectrum, including chronic worry, exhaustion, grief, difficult transitions, and the stress of meltdowns or escalating behaviors. Parents of adults on the spectrum need more than generic support. Life is so much better when your care comes from someone who genuinely understands the territory.

As both a Clinical Psychologist and a Prescribing Psychologist, I provide comprehensive, all-in-one care. I begin with evidence-based psychotherapy, and when medication is indicated, I can address that directly too. Being able to provide psychotherapy and to prescribe when necessary, allows for continuity, depth, and a more seamless treatment experience—without the burden of coordinating between separate providers.

Above all, I offer a space where caregivers themselves can feel seen, supported, and strengthened.

If you are looking for experienced, compassionate support as you navigate the demands of parenting a neurodivergent adult, I would be honored to help.
