Adults Autism Telehealth Services

Adult Autism Spectrum Services in California

100% Online Virtual Care

You’ve worked hard to cope on your own.
Maybe you’ve always felt different. Maybe someone suggested you might be autistic. Or you already have an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis and you want real, practical help that fits you as an adult.

You don’t have to sort this out alone.

All services are 100% virtual. I’m licensed in California and work with adults who are in California, by secure video.

Ready to get started or have questions?

What I Offer Adults With Autism

Many adults who contact me say things like

“I’ve always felt out of step socially.”

“I miss cues and only realize it later.”

“Work and relationships feel harder for me than for everyone else.”

“I mask all day and come home exhausted.”

“I think I might be autistic, but I’m not sure.”

Others know they’re on the spectrum & want help with

Friendships and dating

Long-term relationships and marriage

Work, burnout, and executive functioning

Anxiety, stress, and self-doubt

Low self-esteem that’s built up over years of feeling misunderstood

If any of this fits you—and you are in California—we can work together online

Adult Autism Assessment (Online Only, California Residents)

An adult autism assessment can give you the clarity you’ve been missing.

An online ASD assessment with me typically includes:

A detailed video interview covering your history, strengths, and challenges

Discussion of how autism traits show up in your day-to-day life

A clear, professional opinion about whether you meet criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder

Straightforward feedback and practical next steps, not just a label

If you’ve wondered for years “What’s going on with me?” an online adult ASD evaluation can help you finally understand yourself

Therapy for Adults With Autism
(Telehealth Across California)

If you already have an ASD diagnosis—or strongly identify with autism traits—therapy can help you live more comfortably and confidently as yourself.

In online therapy for adults with autism, we might work on

Understanding nonverbal communication and social cues

Reducing self-criticism and building a more realistic, kinder view of yourself

Managing overwhelm, sensory and emotional overload, and shutdowns

Improving organization, planning, and follow-through

Building and maintaining friendships and romantic relationships

Coping with work stress and burnout

Therapy is

Concrete and practical

We focus on tools you can use in real life.

Collaborative

We set clear goals together and check in on them.

Respectful of how your brain works

The goal is not to “fix” you, but to support you.

Sessions are 50 minutes, held by secure video

Neurodiverse Couples Therapy
(Online, California Only)

When one or both partners are on the spectrum, standard couples therapy often doesn’t help—and can sometimes make things worse

In online neurodiverse couples therapy, we focus on:

Making communication clearer and less loaded

Understanding each partner’s expectations and needs

Reducing recurring misunderstandings and hurt feelings

Creating routines and agreements that actually work for both of you

Rebuilding connection and trust at a realistic pace

Couples sessions are also telehealth only and available to couples in California

How Getting Started Works

From there, sessions continue by secure video, at a regular time we agree on.

You don’t have to have it all figured out before you contact me—that’s part of the work we’ll do together.

Why Work With Me?

Not all mental health professionals are familiar with how autism looks in adults—especially those who have learned to mask, compensate, or “pass” in certain environments.

As an Autism psychologist for adults in California, my work centers on:

  • Recognizing autism traits as they actually appear in adult life
  • Seeing both your strengths and your struggles
  • Taking your sensory, social, and cognitive style seriously
  • Offering direct, honest feedback in a respectful way
  • Helping you build a life that fits you, rather than trying to turn you into someone you’re not

My goal is to help you reduce unnecessary struggle and increase clarity, stability, and satisfaction in your day-to-day life.

Taking the First Step Toward Clarity and Support

Is Now the Right Time?

You might still be unsure

“Is this serious enough?”

“Do I really deserve this kind of help?”

“What if I’m not actually autistic?”

“What if I’ve managed this long—do I really need to do something about it now?”

Those are understandable worries

You don’t need to resolve them before reaching out. If you

Are an adult in California

Wonder whether you have Autism Spectrum Disorder

Already know you have ASD and want therapy that understands autism in adults

Are part of a neurodiverse couple and feel stuck

…then starting the conversation is the next step
