About My Practice
“My work is always guided by two principles: do the right thing and do it with care.”
I have spent most of my professional life helping people when decisions have to be made and the paperwork matters.
During my 25 years as a U.S. Air Force psychologist, I performed evaluations for serious career, legal and medical decisions including security clearance evaluations, medical/sanity boards, and thousands of psychological reports. After leaving the Air Force, I did contract work conducting disability evaluations for the state of New Mexico and the Veterans Administration. I learned that a Good Evaluation is not just a formality. It can affect a person’s future, their benefits, their work, peace of mind and relationships.
That is why I care so much about getting the details right.
Today, I bring my 30+ years of experience to veterans, security professionals, and others who need clear, thoughtful psychological evaluations. Whether you are working through a VA disability claim, immigration case, or applying for a Level III Security Guard credential, I know how important it is to feel that someone is listening.
My goal is to bring both parts of myself to this work: the experienced clinician who knows how to evaluate carefully, and the human being who understands that behind every form, diagnosis, or decision, there is a real person trying to find a way forward.
