“Recognizing Women’s Service and Sacrifice.”

Women who serve in the military or work in security carry a different kind of weight. Because we’re in fields mostly filled with men, it can make us feel like we have to prove ourselves, push harder, or stay quieter about struggles that deserve attention.

On top of the job, there’s everything else—family, health, and trauma that too often goes unseen when our service begins or ends. These experiences shape us in powerful ways, but they can also make it harder to get the fair recognition and support we’ve earned.

That’s why I do this work. My evaluations are built with women’s stories in mind—to make sure your service, your sacrifices, and your resilience are seen and respected.

Helping Women of Service to Meet Their Needs Within the VA

The Standard VA C&P Exam

Many VA contractor exams are brief and rely on checklists that force you into a box

✪ Rushed appointments make it difficult to tell your story
✪ Short time with clinician means symptoms are missed
✪ Men’s symptoms aren’t always women’s symptoms
✪ MST isn’t always reported because of stigma

My Independent Exam

Women face different challenges: Military Sexual Trauma, gender bias, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, perimenopause.

✪ Patient-centered appointments make it easier to tell your story
✪ Symptoms are thoroughly explored, including pre-interview
✪ Gender-specific symptoms are always considered
✪ Safe space to discuss MST

About PsyConOps

I am a retired United States Air Force psychologist. I served on active duty for 21 years. After retiring, I worked as a contractor at Eglin Air Force Base providing psychotherapy and psychotropic medications to AD and their families. I loved the job but moved to care for my aging parents. That’s when I decided to work for VA contractors like LHI, QTC and VES. I learned how the VA disability system works. I also noticed that women’s stories and experiences vary from that of their male counterparts, both on active duty and as veterans. There are many examples of unfair treatment I personally witnessed during and after my military service; some trivial, some gut-wrenching. They produced in me an unshakable commitment to make sure women’s stories are not silenced or brushed aside. Today, as a retired Air Force, now civilian psychologist, I specialize in evaluations for women veterans and women in security roles. My work is not just about filling out forms or establishing diagnoses—it’s about advocacy, recognition, and making sure no woman’s service or sacrifice is neglected.
