I believe that feeling truly understood can be the start of something meaningful. Getting clear answers about how we think, learn, connect, and experience the world can bring real relief — not just for the individual, but for the whole family. I earned my doctorate from Alliant International University's California School of Professional Psychology, where my clinical focus and dissertation centered on autism — specifically, understanding parent stress and support. I specialize in comprehensive assessments and personalized treatment planning for autism, ADHD, and behavioral needs. I am dedicated to providing families with clear guidance and ongoing resource support. As a bilingual clinician who deeply values cultural humility, I am fluent in English and Russian. Connecting with families across different languages and backgrounds is at the heart of my practice. I strive to create a warm, inclusive space where every individual feels comfortable bringing their whole self into the room. Assessment: My passion is working with children, teens, and families, particularly those exploring Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and ADHD. I primarily provide comprehensive ASD and ADHD assessments for children and adolescents, and I also work with young adults seeking answers about autism and ADHD. Each assessment is carried out with genuine care, combining thoughtful clinical conversations, standardized testing, close observation, and a review of relevant history to fully understand your family's experience. When it's time to share results, I do so with warmth and clarity, offering recommendations that feel practical and actionable. I know this journey can stir up a lot of emotion. My goal is to make this process feel human, not clinical—a compassionate, judgment-free space for every step of your journey. Approach: My approach is whole-person and neurodivergent-affirming. I look beyond symptoms to understand development, personality, relationships, culture, and environment — because every person is more than a diagnosis.
