Licensed professionals face unique challenges when concerns arise regarding substance use, mental health, or professional practice. Whether you have been referred by a licensing board, Health Professional Services Program (HPSP), employer, attorney, or are seeking an independent evaluation yourself, the assessment you receive can have lasting implications for both your career and your future.

I provide comprehensive, evidence-based evaluations that are clinically rigorous, objective, and respectful. My goal is neither to advocate for nor against a particular outcome, but to provide an accurate assessment of your current functioning, diagnostic picture, and recommendations based on the available evidence.

I regularly work with professionals whose careers require a high degree of public trust, including:

• Nurses

• Physicians

• Pharmacists

• Psychologists, counselors, social workers, and other mental health professionals

• Substance use treatment professionals

• Attorneys

Drawing on my experience as a clinician, educator, clinical supervisor, and addiction specialist, I understand both the clinical complexity of these cases and the professional standards under which licensed professionals practice.

Every evaluation is individualized and may include a comprehensive clinical interview, review of relevant records, standardized assessment measures when appropriate, diagnostic formulation, and a detailed written report with clear, evidence-informed recommendations.

Whether the referral is prompted by a licensing board inquiry, workplace concern, monitoring program, legal matter, or your own desire for an independent opinion, my commitment is to provide an assessment that is thorough, balanced, and clinically sound.

Family transitions can become especially challenging when concerns about mental health, substance use, parenting capacity, or high-conflict relationships are involved. I provide independent assessments, consultation, and mediation services to help families, attorneys, and the court better understand complex clinical issues and move toward practical, child-centered solutions.

My approach is grounded in neutrality, evidence, and respect for everyone involved. Rather than assigning blame, I focus on understanding the factors contributing to conflict, identifying strengths and areas of concern, and providing thoughtful recommendations that support the well-being of children and families.

Services may include:

• Parenting and co-parenting consultation

• Family mediation

• Assessments related to substance use and mental health

• Consultation regarding parenting concerns involving addiction or recovery

• Clinical consultation for attorneys

• Independent evaluations and written reports, when appropriate

• Recommendations regarding treatment, recovery supports, and parenting resources

I have extensive experience working with individuals and families affected by substance use disorders, mental health concerns, trauma, and relationship conflict. My background as a therapist, educator, and addiction specialist allows me to bring both clinical depth and practical problem-solving to emotionally charged situations.

Whether you are seeking assistance before litigation, during an active family court matter, or as part of an agreed-upon mediation process, my goal is to provide clear, balanced guidance that prioritizes the long-term well-being of children while helping families move toward more constructive and sustainable outcomes.
