ADHD testing can provide the clarity you've been searching for if you've wondered whether ADHD might explain some of your experiences. Many successful adults discover later in life that their brains simply work differently, and understanding this difference can be transformative. I provide comprehensive online ADHD evaluations that go beyond simple checklists to truly understand how your brain processes information and navigates the world.
​​
I provide thorough, integrative ADHD evaluations for adults, with a particular focus on women and individuals whose symptoms have been masked, internalized, or misunderstood for years. ADHD in adults, especially women and high-masking individuals, often doesn’t match outdated stereotypes. Instead of obvious hyperactivity, it may show up as internal restlessness, emotional intensity, chronic overwhelm, burnout, or the sense that you’re always working harder than everyone else just to keep up.
​
Many of the people I work with are high-achieving, insightful, and deeply capable, yet privately exhausted from holding everything together. My approach goes beyond surface-level symptoms to understand how attention, emotion, executive functioning, and nervous system regulation interact in your daily life.
Why is My Approach Different?
Looking beyond surface-level symptoms
ADHD, anxiety, depression, burnout, and emotional dysregulation frequently overlap. Rather than defaulting to labels that don’t quite fit, I take time to carefully differentiate what’s actually driving your difficulties.
​
This includes exploring:
-
Internalized ADHD symptoms (mental restlessness, overthinking, time blindness)
-
Emotional dysregulation and rejection sensitivity
-
Masking and overcompensation strategies
-
Sensory sensitivities and nervous system patterns
-
Executive functioning strengths and challenges
-
Social communication patterns that may not be obvious on the surface
​
Gender- and neurodiversity-informed
Women and gender-diverse individuals are frequently underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed because their symptoms don’t align with traditional models. I intentionally assess factors that are often overlooked, including:
-
The impact of hormonal shifts and menstrual cycles on attention, mood, and regulation
-
Chronic masking, perfectionism, and people-pleasing
-
Anxiety or depression that develops secondary to untreated ADHD
-
Emotional intensity that reflects regulation differences rather than personality pathology
​
Integration, not just test scores
Test scores matter, but they are never interpreted in isolation. I integrate:
-
Detailed developmental and educational history
-
Current functioning across work, school, relationships, and daily life
-
Self-report and (when appropriate) collateral perspectives
-
Objective measures of executive functioning, emotional regulation, and functional impairment
The result is an evaluation that makes sense of your lived experience—not just your data.
​
Reports That Are Meant to Be Used
Clients often tell me, “This is the first time I’ve felt truly understood.”
​
Reports are intentionally written to be:
-
Clear and respectful for clients to read
-
Clinically useful for psychiatric providers
-
Specific enough for academic disability offices
-
Practical for workplace accommodations
-
Actionable for therapists and coaches
​
Rather than generic recommendations, you’ll receive tailored guidance that translates findings into real-world supports across medication, therapy, school, work, and daily life.
​
Depth Over Volume
I see fewer clients so I can do this work well. That means:
-
Extended clinical interviews
-
Thoughtful measure selection
-
Careful integration of findings
-
Detailed feedback sessions
-
Time to answer your questions
This level of care is especially important for people who have spent years being told they are “just anxious,” “too sensitive,” or “not trying hard enough.”

Who is this Evaluation Especially Helpful for?
This approach is well-suited for adults who:
​
-
Have always “done well” on paper but feel overwhelmed internally
-
Suspect ADHD but were never identified earlier in life
-
Experience emotional intensity alongside high self-awareness
-
Struggle with procrastination, time management, or burnout
-
Mask symptoms at work or school and unravel in private
-
Want clarity and understanding—not just a label
What is Included?
This evaluation uses a multi-method, evidence-based approach, rather than relying on a single test. It includes:
-
Comprehensive clinical interview covering developmental, educational, medical, occupational, and psychiatric history
-
Evidence-based ADHD measures assessing symptoms, executive functioning, and day-to-day impact
-
Multi-informant data, when available, to corroborate symptoms across settings
-
Functional impairment assessment examining how attention and executive challenges affect real-world functioning
-
Screening for related conditions (mood, anxiety, trauma, autism traits, learning differences) to support accurate differential diagnosis
-
Detailed written report integrating all data sources with clear diagnostic reasoning
-
Feedback session to review results, discuss diagnosis (when appropriate), and outline individualized recommendations
What this Evaluation does NOT Include:
-
This evaluation is focused specifically on adult ADHD and is not a substitute for a full neuropsychological or psychoeducational assessment.
-
I do not diagnose autism spectrum disorder or learning disabilities; however, I screen for these concerns and provide referral recommendations when comprehensive evaluation is warranted.
-
Computerized continuous performance tests (CPTs) or reaction-time–based attention tasks are not included, as they are not well-suited for telehealth and are not required for accurate adult ADHD diagnosis.
Why This Approach
I approach ADHD evaluations through a therapeutic assessment model, meaning the process itself is designed to be informative and supportive, not just diagnostic. From the questions we explore to the way results are discussed, the goal is to help you learn more about how your brain works as we go, rather than waiting until the final report to make sense of things.
​
Throughout the evaluation, information is gathered collaboratively and with care, with attention to patterns that have shaped your functioning, coping, and self-understanding over time. The feedback session is a central part of this process. Whether the findings support an ADHD diagnosis or suggest that other factors provide a better explanation, my goal is the same: to help you understand yourself more clearly, reduce unnecessary self-blame, and leave with concrete guidance for how to move forward.
​
Many clients describe a sense of relief, not only from having answers, but from finally having an explanation that fits and a clearer path toward support.
​
If ADHD is your primary concern, this evaluation offers a focused and efficient path forward. Rather than committing to a full neuropsychological battery, which often costs $3,000–$5,000 and requires 6–10 hours of testing, this process uses the tools most relevant to adult ADHD while still carefully considering important differentials.
​
This approach is:
-
Focused – Targeted to ADHD while accounting for overlapping conditions
-
Thorough – Uses standardized measures, clinical interviews, collateral input, and functional data
-
Defensible – Grounded in evidence-based practices appropriate for adult telehealth evaluation
-
Collaborative – Designed to support coordination with therapists, prescribers, schools, or workplaces
Benefits:
-
Diagnostic clarity regarding ADHD, when appropriate
-
Actionable recommendations for treatment, skills support, and accommodations
-
Time and cost savings compared to full testing batteries
-
A clear, thoughtful plan for next steps if additional evaluation is recommended
