Diagnostic Clarity
Offering a space to re-examine the story you’ve been told and the one you’ve lived.
Sometimes a diagnosis can bring relief. Other times, it adds confusion, stigma, or complexity that doesn’t help you move forward. Over time, people may collect multiple diagnoses, some accurate, others outdated or incomplete.
This is not about labeling; it’s about making meaning.
My Approach
I offer collaborative, compassionate exploration of your psychiatric history, current symptoms, and the deeper patterns that may underlie your experience. We’ll look at what’s been helpful, what’s been harmful, and where you might find a more coherent framework for understanding yourself.
I take a dimensional, whole-person approach incorporating the DSM-5 when useful, while also considering personality structure, trauma history, and your own intuitive knowing. Whether you’re questioning a past diagnosis, seeking a new one, or just want to better understand yourself, we’ll walk through it together.

What to expect
We’ll start by reviewing your history, current concerns, and any prior assessments. From there, we’ll clarify your goals: insight, treatment planning, reframing, or simply deeper understanding.
Together, we’ll craft a narrative that honors your complexity and helps guide your next steps.
