Our lives can take many twists and turns at any life stage. When mental health conditions are present, our challenges can feel even more intense and difficult to manage. Depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and high stress levels can feel like thieves of our peace of mind, our hope, and sense of control of our lives. I believe coming to therapy can be the place for people to work on bringing their lives, overall wellness, and their sense of self back into balance and focus. Therapy is the tool for beginning a new way forward.

Emotional growth is best nurtured from a compassionate, encouraging, and non-judgmental perspective. In today’s society, the expectations put on us can be quite demanding, and many times, unrealistic. As a wife and a mother, I understand how agonizing it can be to constantly ask myself, “Am I enough?” Challenging negative thoughts, though it may be difficult, is worth the risk. Living a fulfilling, happy, and productive life is priceless.

Do you feel misunderstood and are looking for a place of acceptance?

After many years of dedicated work in crisis intervention, I've decided to shift my clinical work to focus on supporting those who give so much of themselves - parents, healthcare workers, teachers, first responders - all of the helpers. My experience in high-stress environments has provided me with a deep understanding of the unique challenges these groups face. I've seen how critical it is to have a supportive space to process experiences, develop coping strategies, and maintain balance in life.

Forensic Psychology Therapists
How does forensic psychology work?
Forensic psychology works by providing those in the legal system with expert information about psychology and behavior that they wouldn’t otherwise have. Forensic psychologists do this through a range of services—conducting psychological assessments for court cases, assisting police officers with investigations, providing expert opinion, helping with mediation, and providing mental health care to victims or perpetrators of crimes.
Can a forensic psychologist help with child custody cases?
Yes. In the event that it’s needed, an attorney or judge may appoint a forensic psychologist to provide an assessment and recommendation. This process involves multiple interviews with the child, the parent (or parents), and sometimes others. The psychologist assesses the parent’s mental health, strengths and weaknesses, and parenting practices to understand what’s in the child’s best interest. They then complete a report with recommendations based on their assessment.
Do forensic psychologists help solve crimes?
In some cases they do. For example, criminal profiling involves collaborating with law enforcement officers to construct a profile of a perpetrator based on psychology, personality, and behavior as suggested by the crime in order to focus the investigation. They may also offer expert input on subjects related to a case such as deception, false confessions, and the reliability of testimony based on eyewitness accounts.
How long do people typically work with a forensic psychologist?
The length of time an individual works with a forensic psychologist depends on the relevant service. For example, if a forensic psychologist is conducting a psychological assessment for a court case, this may take one to two sessions to complete (although they can be more extensive). If the forensic psychologist is providing therapy to someone accused or convicted of a crime, treatment may last for several months or more.
