Structured, Defensible Psychological Analysis in Contested Parenting Matters
I provide forensic psychological consultation and evaluation services in family law cases involving disputed parenting capacity, complex parent–child dynamics, and competing psychological claims.
My work emphasizes neutrality, methodological transparency, and clear linkage between data and conclusions — providing attorneys with structured analysis relevant to litigation.
Services for Family Law Attorneys
• Independent evaluation review and rebuttal consultation
• Limited-scope forensic consultation
• Targeted psychological analysis to support case strategy
• Parenting evaluations in contested custody matters
Consultation services are structured, clearly defined, and tailored to the specific legal questions presented.
Forensic Approach
Forensic evaluation differs from clinical treatment in purpose and role.
My work emphasizes:
• Clear differentiation between clinical and forensic roles
• Integration of records, collateral information, and psychological testing
• Explicit reasoning connecting findings to conclusions
• Structured written products suitable for legal proceedings
The goal is clarity and disciplined analysis — not advocacy.
Consultation Availability
I am currently accepting a limited number of new consultation and evaluation matters.
Structured. Defensible. Objective.
Forensic psychological services grounded in developmental science and transparent methodology to support legal strategy and decision-making.
