If you're seeking treatment or an evaluation for yourself or someone else, I'm happy to support. My practice is purposely designed to be flexible, personal, and tailored to your needs. Life’s demands, whether at work, in relationships, or in personal challenges, can take a toll. I provide a safe, supportive space for growth and healing and a broad range of services including psychological assessments, criminal- and civil-forensic evaluations, and therapy for individuals, couples, and families.
I offer assessment expertise in criminal-related matters, guardianship, wills, contractual capacity, and court-, work-, and school-ordered therapy. My therapy experience spans across anger management, trauma, substance use, workplace stress, first responders, couples, and families.
My clinical and forensic experience enables me to address a wide range of client needs. Whether you are seeking therapy, counseling, or a psychological evaluation, I emphasize and value flexibility, privacy, and customized support tailored to your unique circumstances.

There is no blanket treatment type that I use, although a large percentage is based in cognitive-behavioral theory. Treatment depends on your unique needs, goals, where you find yourself, and your comfort level.
