Private Practice
MA, BCBA, LBA, Board Certified Behavior Analyst
Private autism assessment and developmental consultation.
Individual, expert-led care for children, adolescents, and adults. Based between Houston and Lagos, with international travel by arrangement and secure telehealth worldwide.
On Masking
Many capable children and adults go undiagnosed for years, not because autism is absent, but because they have learned to mask it.
They often present instead with anxiety, perfectionism, or quiet social exhaustion. Their difficulties are real, but easy to misread.
A careful, unhurried assessment can bring profound relief, genuine self-understanding, and access to the right support. That clarity is the work.
Services
Every assessment and program is conducted personally, shaped around the family's language, values, and cultural context.
Thorough developmental and autism assessment for children, adolescents, and adults, including the subtle, masked presentations that are easily missed. Conducted in person or by secure telehealth.
One-to-one expert consultation for families seeking direction, a second opinion, or guidance on next steps following a concern or an earlier evaluation.
Behavioral intervention built around each child, with exclusive intervention materials developed specifically for the family, grounded in evidence and adapted to the home's language and culture rather than imposed from a template.
Discreet collaboration with school teams and counselors, including classroom strategy and support planning, where a family wishes their child's school to be involved.
