Where Clinical Work Meets Legal Reality
Clinicians who practice in forensic settings are challenged with providing high-quality services, often in stressful situations, to some of the most marginalized of our communities, justice-involved clients. Competence requires an understanding of best practice, ethical obligation, and cultural & sociopolitical awareness.
The process for making evidence-based practice decisions involves integrating the best available empirical evidence with professional expertise, while considering client attributes, values, preferences, and circumstances. The process requires consistent and intentional development.
If you are interested in developing as a forensic clinician, you’ve come to the right place. The Forensic Clinician offers:
Practical guidance for direct practitioners and clinical supervisors.
Clinical Supervision for unlicensed and associate licensed clinicians.
Continuing Education Units (CEU) for social work practitioners.
Private Practice (Psychotherapy)
Individual Psychotherapy
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia, with over a decade of experience in the mental health field.
My work focuses on the people who carry the weight of high-stakes, high-exposure work:
Law Enforcement and First Responders,
Nurses and Doctors,
Therapists and Mitigation Specialists,
Public Defenders and District Attorneys.
These are professionals regularly exposed to trauma, moral injury, and systems trauma, many of whom serve individuals involved in the justice system.
Our first session is a chance for me to get to know you and for you to share your story in a safe, supportive space. We'll talk about what brought you in, the pressures you're carrying, and how your work may be shaping what you're feeling. I understand the particular toll of trauma exposure, moral injury, and the strain of working within systems that don't always make room for your own wellbeing. This session isn't about rushing to solutions—it's about understanding who you are and what matters most to you, and beginning to shape what you hope to gain from therapy.
Often my clients are carrying anxiety, depression, burnout, or the quiet weight of things they can't unsee, while trying to keep showing up for demanding roles. I especially value working with those who feel stuck or worn down but are open to new ways of coping, rebuilding self-compassion, and creating a life that reflects their values. I'm also mindful that the people I serve already shoulder significant demands. Because of that, I'm committed to keeping my services affordable and accessible, so that cost isn't one more barrier standing between you and the support you deserve.
I understand that what you're feeling doesn't happen in a vacuum—it's shaped by your workplace, your relationships, the institutions you operate within, and the broader culture surrounding high-exposure professions. Rather than treating your concerns as personal failings, we look at how the systems around you are contributing to what you're carrying. That perspective often relieves a great deal of self-blame and points us toward change that actually fits your life.
