People find themselves considering therapy for a variety of reasons. Perhaps they find themselves struggling to find balance and acclimate to the many changes in our world today. They find it hard to sleep, stay focused or find motivation. All of a sudden completing tasks takes more effort. Others find it hard to build or maintain relationships with others. Expressing or regulating emotions can be more difficult. While we all have a host of coping strategies that we rely on to get us through life's challenging moments, during times of increased stress we sometimes find these strategies just don’t work as well as they did before.

I graduated in 2017 from the George Washington University with a Master’s degree in Forensic Psychology and then went on to pursue a Master’s degree in Clinical Professional Counseling from Loyola University.
As a practitioner of Internal Family Systems therapy, I help clients identify and release core beliefs that cause anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, guilt, perfectionism, and/or addiction. I strongly believe that our pasts influence our present. The lens through which we interpret ourselves, other people, and the world around us is developed in childhood and sometimes needs adjustment as we evolve throughout the lifespan. With IFS therapy, we will uncover and challenge the lessons you learned as children that keep you feeling stuck, scared, sad, and not good enough.

I find that many people have dealt with so much trauma and disappointment in life that they begin to feel powerless. I know it can all feel like too much at times. The way out isn’t necessarily to fix all the problems in your life, but to learn how to respond differently to them, as your capable, beautiful self. You might wonder what your life purpose really is, or feel as if you’re stuck in the same cycle. Many of my clients have described feeling overwhelmed by the never-ending pressures of life. It might seem that no matter what you do, you can’t get ahead.

It happened again. You were sitting in traffic, thinking about your day, when panic suddenly hit. Your chest tightened, and you couldn’t catch your breath. Your palms began to sweat, and your face became flushed. You wondered to yourself, "Is everything about to unravel?!" You never know when these overwhelming emotions will hit, and it’s terrifying. You don’t need this added burden right now – between family dinners, work assignments, doctor’s appointments, paying bills, organizing your house, and everything else, things are already so hectic. You hate to let people down, but you can’t keep going like this.

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.
