Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other emotional or psychological challenges that impact your daily functioning? If you’ve found comfort and stability through the presence of an animal, you may qualify for an Emotional Support Animal (ESA). I’m here to help you explore that option with care, clinical insight, and professionalism.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in five states, with nearly three decade of experience supporting clients through a variety of emotional and mental health concerns. I currently practice at Pivots Potential, a trauma-focused center offering therapy and integrative healing services.

I offer thorough, legally compliant ESA evaluations for clients who may benefit from the companionship and emotional support of an animal. These evaluations are conducted with empathy and clinical care, guided by trauma-informed practices and advanced therapeutic training—including Eye Movement Integration (EMI) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I understand the deep and healing connection many people have with their animals and approach each case with respect and thoughtful assessment.

My services are especially attuned to the needs of survivors of trauma, domestic violence, and chronic mental health conditions. I have extensive experience working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds.

As someone who has worked collaboratively with attorneys and completed hundreds of legal and clinical evaluations, I ensure that ESA documentation meets the requirements for housing or travel accommodations under the Fair Housing Act (FHA) and the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA).

Evaluations are typically completed within 3 business days, and rush options are available if needed. All services are offered virtually, making it convenient and accessible regardless of location.

If you believe an emotional support animal could be part of your healing journey, I would be honored to support you through this process.
