Mental Health Assessments

Taking a Curious Stance

Comprehensive assessments that bring together history, observation, and insight to support next steps.

Understanding what’s going on — and what supports are needed

I offer psychological assessments for children, adolescents, and adults — with attention to personal history, current context, and emotional patterns. These assessments are often used to clarify mental health diagnoses, guide care plans, or offer insight into how someone is coping and functioning.

My approach is structured, direct, and adapted to your specific needs. Whether we’re working together one-on-one, connecting through a workshop, or you’re engaging with one of my courses or articles — everything I offer is designed to help you better understand yourself, your patterns, and the dynamics that show up in your life.

This isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level advice. It’s about making sense of what’s going on, using evidence-based frameworks, and moving toward clarity and practical change. I offer individual therapy, speaking engagements, online workshops, and resources that meet you where you are and give you tools you can actually use.

Court-Ordered Parenting Assessments (S.30)

Parents face numerous difficult decisions when they decide to separate. Sometimes, when parents are unable to come to a decision about child-related issues such as parenting time and decision-making, or when there are concerns about parenting capacity, a mental health professional is asked by the family court to provide recommendations on the matter.

A parenting assessment (or Section 30) is a comprehensive, in-depth evaluation of the children’s needs, the parents’ ability and functioning, and the various relationships and dynamics within a family.

My role as an evaluator is to gather information and make recommendations in the best interests of the child(ren). I provide recommendations to the court on parental decision-making (custody) and parenting time (visitation) that are in the best interests of the child(ren). I also answer specific questions posed by the court. The S.30 evaluation is a process, which does not guarantee an outcome for either party.
