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

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.
