I work through a holistic, integrative lens. Whether I’m completing an evaluation or providing therapy, it's not one size fits all. Clients most often express appreciation for my ability to validate and push for change at the same time. Sometimes I work with interns, primarily providing evaluation/assessment services, such as violence and sexual risk, forensic mitigation, personality, cognitive, adaptive functioning, etc. I do offer individual therapy and sometimes group, though it may be with a Master’s or Doctorate level intern under my supervision. I specialize in working with older teenage to older adult persons.
As an evaluator, I'm a trained clinical, forensic psychologist with advanced training in clinical psychopharmacology. As a clinician, I use an integrative model that allows us to be flexible as we work as a team to address your needs. Decades of training and experience permit me to work in various areas of evaluation, consultation, therapy, and supervision.
Active listening and understanding perspective are essential for me as an evaluator and therapist. You are the expert of you & I am the expert of my craft, and together we will work as a team. Given the uniqueness of every situation, I encourage you to schedule a consult to determine if I, or an intern, am a good fit in your attempt to address your needs.
