Forensic Evaluations
Independent, non-advocacy forensic mental health evaluations for attorneys and legal matters - grounded in objectivity and clearly defined scope.
Overview
Forensic mental health evaluations require a different standard than clinical work - one grounded in objectivity, structured analysis, and a clearly defined scope. Every evaluation conducted is independent and focused solely on the referral question.
If you're working on a matter where behavioral health factors are in play, I provide a thorough, well-written evaluation that you can use with confidence.

Record Review & Report Analysis
Critical review of existing mental health evaluations, clinical records, or expert reports obtained by the opposing party — identifying methodological gaps, unsupported conclusions, and clinical claims that may not hold up under scrutiny.
