Assessment and treatment for your mental healthcare needs.
Available services
Therapy
Currently online only (in-person options soon), therapy is individually-tailored to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Typically, meetings are weekly or bi-weekly. I provide individual therapy to address concerns over substance use. I also have extensive experience working with individuals in various stages of recovery on addressing other emotional and behavioral concerns (e.g., the issues substance use may have been masking). Therapy is also offered for individual with other concerns including depression, anxiety, anger, impulsivity, and other forms of emotional distress. I blend both therapeutic techniques that have been used thousands of years with our current scientific understanding of approaches shown to be effective across a range of psychological concerns.

Psychological Assessment & Treatment Recommendations
Typically conducted online, I provide thorough mental health assessments that conclude with specific recommendation for you to consider towards improving your mental health. Assessments include using objective testing, standardized measures of mental health and personality along with other measures specific to your concerns. Typically occurs over 2-3 sessions with one devoted to providing you feedback on strengths and various treatment options to consider towards improving your mental health. These assessments are collaborative and designed to tap into your curiosity about yourself. I do not typically offer cognitive testing given my recommendation would be to see a neuropsychologist for concerns over memory, etc.

Independent Medical Evaluations
Suffer a psychological problem directly related to and caused by an incident(s) at work or elsewhere? Disabled due to a mental health condition? In-person only, I offer objective and independent assessments for individuals seeking damages due to psychological problems caused by work or other sources. Given the complexities and high stakes involved in legal cases, I charge by the hour to provide a psychological/legal opinion.
