Adult ADHD & Autism Diagnosis in Connecticut

Licensed LCSW | Neurodivergence Specialist | Serving Adults Statewide in CT

Comprehensive Telehealth Diagnostic Services for Adults

You might be here because:

• You’ve always felt different — but outwardly successful.
• You were diagnosed with ADHD and wonder if autism fits too.
• You’ve masked well your whole life — and you’re exhausted.
• You want clarity, not just coping strategies.
• You’re capable and accomplished — yet internally overwhelmed.

These patterns are common among high-masking adults with ADHD, Autism, or AuDHD — especially those identified later in life.

• Comprehensive intake and developmental history
• 3-hour structured clinical interview

Many adults start with questions, not certainty.
That’s completely okay.

She appears to be feeling emotional, with her hand on her chest and a gentle smile on her face. The room is bright, with large windows and indoor plants. There are colorful pillows on the sofa and a wooden table in front of her with a laptop, a small potted plant, and a glass jar.

About the Therapist

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Connecticut (LCSW) for over 30 years and provide secure telehealth evaluations for adults throughout the state, including Hartford, New Haven, Stamford, Fairfield County, and surrounding areas.

As an AuDHD clinician, I bring both lived experience and extensive clinical training to this work — offering an evaluation process that is informed, affirming, and deeply attuned to the realities of high-masking adults. Your experience is valued, not denied or judged.

This evaluation process balances clinical rigor with a neurodivergence-affirming perspective.
