Services

Customized Approach for Every Goal

My approach focuses on client-centered, evidence-based treatment. Specifically, I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational and Cognitive Interviewing techniques, and customize my approach to meet each client's needs, values, and goals. I specialize in helping adults and seniors work through:

  • Anxiety, depression, worry, exhaustion, stress management

  • Major life transition such as career change, burnout, grief

  • Long-standing emotional patterns resulting from trauma

  • Relationship issues

My clients would describe my style as warm, intentional, non-judgmental, engaging, and collaborative—offering both support and gentle challenge in service of meaningful transformation.

I offer in-person sessions at my office in St. Petersburg, Florida and virtual sessions for clients located in Florida, Virginia, or any other PSYPACT-participating state, through my Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT).

NOTE: For in-person visits, the main entrance is wheelchair accessible at ground level and my office is located on the second floor accessible by stairs. Ground floor meetings can be arranged in advance for those who need reasonable accommodations.

Consultation

As a specialized clinical psychologist, I provide expert consultation on:

  • Behavioral threat assessment and management

  • Criminal investigations

  • Personnel screening and selection

By combining clinical insight, investigative, and operational acumen, I deliver psychological and behavioral strategies to evaluate and mitigate threats, uncover critical leads to enhance overall case strategy, and assess candidates for specific positions. My services include:

  • Comprehensive, in-depth behavioral analysis of individuals of concern

  • Actionable, tailored science-based investigative interviewing strategies for suspects and victims

  • Strategic investigative guidance to identify and mitigate threats posed by individuals of concern

  • Tailored interviews with candidates and provide actionable feedback to hiring managers

Training

I deliver evidence-based training and professional/personal development for the community, law enforcement, legal professionals, and investigative multidisciplinary teams. My curricula bridge clinical psychological theory with practical application, ensuring that my clients are equipped with the knowledge they need.

Core Training Pillars

  • Mental Health Wellness: Proactive psychoeducation designed to increase mental health literacy. The training modules include, but not limited to depression, anxiety, chronic worry, and vicarious trauma equipping people to identify early warning signs and symptoms in themselves or others. Beyond awareness, self-care strategies such as cognitive reframing, stress-reduction techniques, and resilience-building habits to maintain long-term personal well-being are discussed.

  • Forensic Training: Comprehensive education on the etiology of adult sexual offending, including personality profiles, offending patterns, and the complex relationship dynamics between offenders and victims.

  • Trauma-Informed Investigative Practice: Instruction on trauma-informed sexual assault investigations, specifically focusing on how trauma impacts victim's memory and behavior, and strategies for minimizing re-traumatization during investigative interviews.

  • Advanced Interviewing Techniques: Specialized training on investigative interviewing that integrates mental health considerations, interviewee's personality traits, and the identification of investigator biases that can impact case outcomes.

Customization & Delivery

All training modules can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your agency.
