When families face difficult transitions, children deserve thoughtful, balanced decisions rooted in care and understanding. I provide custody and parenting time evaluations informed by clinical mental health experience, with a strong focus on compassion and what is truly in the best interests of children.

✔ Clinically informed perspective

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), I bring advanced clinical training and experience in assessing family systems, child development, trauma, and relational dynamics. My evaluations are grounded in professional standards, ethical practice, and a commitment to objectivity while maintaining compassion for all members of the family.

My approach combines professional neutrality with empathy — recognizing that behind every evaluation are parents doing their best and children who need support. I work to understand each family’s unique circumstances and provide clear, well-reasoned recommendations that prioritize children’s emotional well-being and long-term success.

A custody and parenting time evaluation in an investigative process in which I will interview and gather information regarding the parents, children (interviews when age appropriate) and collaterals. This may include mental health, chemical health, and domestic violence information as relevant to the family. I will observe the parties and their relationship and utilize all of the information gathered to formulate recommendations based on the statue factors in the best interest of the child(ren). Prior to a written report summarizing findings, an oral report is given to aid parties in coming to a settlement agreement.
