Clinical psychologist specializing in Adult ASD

I earned my Ph.D. in Psychology and began my career at the University of Illinois at Chicago. For the past 30 years, I’ve practiced in San Francisco, working with adults and couples navigating Autism Spectrum Disorder.

My work is rooted in early autism scholarship—from pioneers like Leo Kanner, Lorna Wing, Uta Frith, and Tony Attwood—yet firmly grounded in contemporary research and best practices. In 2015, I authored Adult Asperger’s Syndrome: The Essential Guide, and I continue to stay current with evolving diagnostic criteria and therapeutic innovations.

In my clinical practice, I specialize in:

  • Adult ASD Assessment & Diagnosis – thorough evaluations to confirm or clarify adult autism presentations.

  • Individual Therapy for Adults with ASD – tailored support for self-understanding, emotion regulation, social skills, and well-being.

  • Neurodiverse Couples Therapy – focused support for couples where one or both partners are neurodiverse, addressing communication, understanding, and connection.
