Neurodiverse Health

My approach

I am a Board-Certified Family Medicine physician with additional training in Integrative Medicine, and a longstanding interest in neurodiversity and autistic health. I provide high-quality, non-stigmatizing, identity-affirming autism, ADHD, and AuDHD assessments that seek to integrate the world of modern biomedicine and the neurodiversity paradigm.

I also offer comprehensive, holistic health assessments and support (long-term or short-term), to help you in your understanding of your unique body and mind, and to collaborate on a plan towards increasing your health and well-being.

Autism, Neurodiversity and Health

We are currently experiencing a revolution in our understanding of human neurodiversity, especially autism. For far too long, neurodivergent and autistic people have been minimized, misunderstood, invalidated, misdiagnosed, disbelieved, traumatized, suppressed and invalidated - in both interactions with the healthcare system, and moving through the world in general.

We have made progress, but even today, there are incredible hurdles and barriers, both implicit and overt, one of which is a lack of support and understanding of how neurodivergent bodies and brains can thrive. Even for those lucky enough to get a diagnosis, especially for adults, you are assessed and... that's it! You're on your own to find an informed therapist, to navigate the healthcare system, to understand why you're so tired, underslept, inflamed, etc. There is a severe lack of care, safety and nourishment accessible for neurodivergent people, and a severe lack of understanding of our experience. I want to do my part to change that.

What is...?

Neurodiversity is a natural form of human diversity, and refers to the many different ways our brains and nervous systems experience and process information and interact with the world. More specifically, it refers to the fact that there is not just one human "neurotype."

Neurodivergence can broadly refer to any form of neurodiversity that "diverges" from typical standards.
