Specialized Training:
I am a Designated Capacity Assessor in Ontario since 1995. I have 30 years experience on staff at the Royal Ottawa Hospital, private practice since 1980. Capacity assessments ore offered in areas of psychiatric illness, geriatric issues including all forms of dementia, developmental delay, head/brain injury. I provide service to all of Eastern Ontario. Services are provided to families, lawyers, residential care and nursing homes, and hospitals.
Personal Statement:
I am a clinical social worker with more than 35 years experience working in the area of mental health with adults, age 18-90. I am one of the original group of Capacity Assessors designated in 1995. Although my private practice was originally focused on psychotherapy to adult individuals, couples and groups, it is now restricted only to capacity assessment. Letters of opinion regarding capacity for property and/or personal care are also provided to the legal profession and individuals to validate capacity/incapacity for Power of Attorney, making or changing a will, or other related matters. I am available to answer questions or discuss other concerns about capacity assessment.
