Clinical Assessments & Documentation Evaluations
For work leave, disability, accommodations & clinically complex situations
*All recommendations and documentation are based on clinical findings, functional impairment & medical necessity*
Former Veterans Health Administration clinician nationally recognized & published by SAMHSA for implementing an evidence-based assessment & documentation model that secured disability benefits & transitioned veterans out of homelessness during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Two Ways to Work Together
Some clients need support
Others need clear answers & documentation
This is built for both.
A focused clinical assessment for individuals seeking work leave, disability, workplace accommodations or related clinical documentation.
The assessment includes review of your current symptoms, relevant history, treatment needs, day-to-day functioning, work-related impairment, safety concerns and diagnostic considerations. It also allows me to determine whether the documentation you are requesting is clinically appropriate and supportable.
The $150 fee covers the 60-minute assessment and completion of the clinical assessment record. Employer forms, leave or disability paperwork, letters, record review and other requested documentation are separate because the amount of professional time involved varies considerably.
This assessment may be appropriate for:
• Work leave and return-to-work needs
• Workplace accommodations or modifications
• FMLA and disability-related requests
• Clinically supported letters based on medical necessity
PROCESS — WHAT TO EXPECT
Complete a 60-minute clinical assessment.
Receive a clinical determination regarding your needs and whether the requested documentation can be supported.
After I review the actual form or documentation request, I will explain the applicable fee before beginning that work.
*Documentation is not guaranteed and is based on clinical findings, functional impairment and medical necessity.
For individuals who are used to holding everything together on the outside while quietly unraveling on the inside. This is a space where nothing you say will shock me - and nothing you’re carrying has to be filtered.
From there, we slow things down, get clear on what’s in your control and how to go about implementing lasting change. Whether that’s through a fresh perspective on your current circumstances, integrating a new understanding of yourself & others, or utilizing new coping techniques that actually work for you and your lifestyle.
This assessment may be appropriate for:
• PTSD, trauma, grief, or moral injury
• Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or emotionally exhausted
• Relationship or attachment concerns
• Major life transitions, loss, or burnout
• Veterans and first responders seeking trauma-informed care
PROCESS - WHAT TO EXPECT?
A 60-minute initial intake assessment to address your needs, clarify goals and determine the best path forward. I utilize a variety of techniques and schools of thought to provide my clients with up-to-date education about attachment theory & the nervous system to help co-create a personalized treatment plan tailored to you and your goals.
I specialize in PTSD, prolonged grief disorder & moral injury, with a special emphasis on working with military veterans & first responders.
We’ll make sense of what you’ve been carrying - so you can finally begin to set it down.
*Cash-pay practice with limited sliding-scale availability. TRICARE accepted.*
About Me
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over ten years of experience working at the intersection of mental health and real-world systems, including the Department of Veteran’s Affairs, community mental health and private practice.
I work with individuals who are used to holding everything together on the outside while navigating PTSD, burnout, grief and chronic stress on the inside. My approach is direct and grounded—we identify what’s actually happening so we can develop a clear, workable path forward.
At the Department of Veteran’s Affairs, I worked with severely mentally ill and unhoused veterans in settings where clinical decisions were directly tied to high-stakes outcomes that affected their quality of life such as Social Security Disability benefits, Veteran’s Service Connected Disability benefits, housing and healthcare eligibility. That invaluable experience required precise assessment, clear documentation and the ability to connect diagnoses and symptoms directly to their functional impairment. This led to a strong understanding of how systems interpret clinical information—experience I now apply to mental health evaluations and documentation for extended leave requests, workplace accommodations and disability-related needs.
I’ve also held clinical leadership roles overseeing documentation standards, regulatory compliance and treatment quality. I bring that same level of structure and accountability into every evaluation and letter I write.
Clients often describe me as direct, steady and not afraid to bring in well-timed humor when things get heavy. We’ll work through what you’ve been carrying—so you can finally set it down.
