Contact for Case Inquiry

I provide consultation for attorneys, professionals, and select legal, trauma-related, behavioral, or high-conflict cases where emotional functioning, behavioral response, trauma exposure, stress adaptation, or PTSD related presentation may benefit from additional clinical and behavioral perspectives.

My background as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, trauma specialist, retired career first responder, and professionally trained in Neuropsychotherapy and clinical neurocriminology informs the way I approach human behavior, trauma exposure, emotional adaptation, stress response, and functioning under pressure across both clinical and operational environments.

This work is further supported by advanced trauma training and certification through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in the administration of the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5).

Consultation services may include case review, trauma-informed behavioral perspective, emotional and behavioral pattern analysis, stress- and trauma-related considerations, and clinically informed feedback appropriate to the nature of the requested consultation.

Consultation approach

My consultation style is thoughtful, psychologically grounded, and tailored to the needs of the case or professional environment involved. The goal is not simply identifying behavioral concerns, but helping create greater clarity around trauma exposure, stress response, emotional functioning, behavioral adaptation, and the broader psychological factors influencing the situation.
