About My Clients
My passion lies in providing comprehensive assessments for individuals with brain injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, neurodevelopmental disabilities, and various psychiatric disorders like anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and personality disturbances. I also conduct forensic assessments, like fitness to stand trial, insanity defenses, and risk assessments, which have honed my skills and ensured my assessments are evidence-based and accurate.
My Background and Approach
I've built a robust understanding of this field with diverse experience across nursing homes, inpatient facilities, community mental health, and private practice. Initially focused solely on delivering accurate diagnoses, I’ve since developed a deep appreciation for the stories behind my client’s journeys. It’s a privilege to offer my clients answers that guide them toward a better quality of life. My approach is collaborative; you are the expert on your experiences, and I bring my knowledge, background, and research to our partnership to provide the best possible recommendations. Known for my warm and humorous demeanor, I strive to make you feel comfortable and heard throughout the process.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My doctorate was obtained from a university committed to social justice, deeply influencing my advocacy for marginalized communities. This commitment is reflected in my active engagement in addressing racial injustices, providing gender-affirming care for LGBTQAI+ individuals, and offering neurodivergent-affirming care. I strive to create a safe and inclusive environment for all my clients, where their unique experiences and identities are respected and validated.
