Are you grappling with questions about a loved one's ability to navigate life independently? As a psychologist specializing in capacity assessments for older adults, I offer tailored evaluations addressing autonomy and decision-making, all within the context of risk management. Whether it's assessing the capacity to live alone, manage finances, create a will, designate power of attorney, determine the need for a guardian/conservator, or any other decision-making challenge, my assessments provide clarity and guidance.
I offer in-home assessments within a 70-mile radius of Colorado Springs, extending to areas such as Denver, Pueblo, Woodland Park, and beyond, aiming to ease the process for the individual being assessed. In-office assessments are also available upon request.
Empathy is the cornerstone of my practice. I understand the challenges you're facing and am here to offer support and guidance. Don't hesitate to reach out—I'm here to help you navigate this journey with compassion and expertise.
