Personal Bio
I believe that understanding why someone is struggling is the foundation for meaningful treatment. My approach begins with taking the time to develop a comprehensive understanding of the many factors that may be contributing to your concerns. Emotional, social, medical, neurological, and environmental factors are often interconnected, and my goal is to identify those pieces so we can develop a thoughtful, solutions-oriented plan tailored to your unique needs.
My primary area of practice is psychological and neuropsychological assessment. I specialize in comprehensive evaluations for individuals experiencing cognitive decline related to dementia, neurological disease, traumatic brain injury, or neurodevelopmental disorders. I also provide in-depth personality and mood assessments, career interest assessments in conjunction with personality and mood evaluations, pre-surgical psychological evaluations, Independent Medical Evaluations (IMEs), forensic psychological and neuropsychological evaluations for legal matters, and specialized assessments related to high-conflict divorce, parenting plans, and child custody concerns. I have received specialized training through the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC) in forensic assessment for parenting plan evaluations and high-conflict co-parenting cases.
I am especially passionate about working with law enforcement officers, first responders, veterans, military families, older adults experiencing cognitive concerns, and individuals navigating major life transitions or times of crisis. These populations often face unique challenges that deserve a thoughtful, individualized approach.
When you meet with me, you can expect an evaluation that is comprehensive rather than cookie-cutter. Every person and every situation is different. I spend significant time gathering information, exploring your history, and understanding the many variables that may be affecting your current functioning. Depending on the reason for your evaluation, the assessment process may take place over multiple appointments to ensure we develop the clearest possible understanding of your strengths, challenges, and treatment needs.
My goal is for you to leave feeling genuinely heard, understood, and equipped with greater insight into your situation. I want you to have a clear sense of direction and confidence in the next steps, whether that involves treatment recommendations, greater self-understanding, career planning, or navigating a complex life situation.
While psychological and neuropsychological assessment is the primary focus of my clinical practice, I also provide therapy on a limited basis. Because my therapy caseload is intentionally small, I encourage individuals seeking ongoing psychotherapy to inquire about whether my practice would be the best fit for their needs.
