About
As a psychologist, I thrive on challenges. I specialize in comprehensive and court-ordered psychological assessments for juveniles and adults. I have many years of experience testifying in court. My forensic referrals come from judges, private attorneys, public defenders, and State and Federal Public Defenders and include Indiana competency or insanity assessments, juvenile waiver, sex offender risk assessments, child hearsay, TR 35, and post-conviction relief. Additionally, after many years working in residential treatment, I have developed expertise with children/adolescents with severe emotional and behavioral disturbances. In therapy, I primarily use Trauma-focused CBT, CBT, psychodynamic therapy, play therapy, and family systems therapy. I enjoy assisting intact and divorced families work through complex problems and I enjoy helping people develop assertive communication skills and confidence to take charge of their lives and meet their goals. I am semi-fluent in Spanish so families should have some ability to communicate in English or a translator may be needed. I am an ally and I value diversity of all types. In my free time, I enjoy bouldering, outdoor sport climbing, reading, traveling, and spending time with my husband, young adult children, and grandchild.
