About

Individual and Couples Psychotherapy for Adults: I believe in empowering individuals to navigate life's challenges and achieve positive change. My approach is collaborative, solution-focused, and strengths-based, helping you uncover your inner resources and build a fulfilling and resilient life. Custody Evaluation & Psychological Testing: Are you facing a complex custody dispute or seeking a comprehensive assessment of a child's best interests? I offer expert custody evaluations and psychological testing services to provide valuable insights and support during challenging family law cases. With extensive experience and commitment to delivering unbiased, evidence-based assessments, I strive to assist parents, attorneys, and courts in making informed decisions that prioritize the well-being of children. Adoptive Home Studies & Post-Placement Services: I understand that the process of adopting a child is both exciting and complex, and my goal is to ensure that every family receives the support and guidance they need to create a nurturing and loving environment for their future child. I follow a rigorous and thorough assessment process that adheres to the highest standards of professionalism and ethics, ensuring that each family's unique circumstances and needs are carefully considered.
