SERVICES
Blending psychotherapy expertise with a passion for helping clients live healthier and happier lives.
What I Do
I provide defensible Forensic Mental Health Evaluations and Written Reports for Immigration, Personal Injury, and Workplace Litigation.
I offer short-term outpatient psychotherapy, in various modalities, with individuals, couples, families, and groups.
My approach is suited for people that are ready to be challenged, take responsibility, and do the work. 20+ years of experience providing psychotherapy, with command in immigration, personal injury, and workplace matters.
Recognized expertise in forensic assessment and court testimony. I provide direct, goal-oriented psychotherapy focused on results. No coddling. No fluff.
I challenge what isn’t working, keep it structured and collaborative, and expect effort between sessions. The work is intentionally uncomfortable at times, as I will challenge distortions, call out avoidance, and focus on what actually changes things.
This approach is best suited for people who want accountability, clarity, and actionable results. People seeking gentle pacing, primarily supportive or affirming therapy, are unlikely to find this a fit.

TODAY
I work closely with attorneys and their staff by offering support and collaboration on legal matters that require mental health expertise, and conduct Independent Mental Health Exams (IME), testify in deposition and court-room trials, and provide litigation consulting as non-testifying experts on issues related to immigration, personal injury, and criminal law.
