As a Doctorate-level Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and Forensic Consultant, I translate decades of clinical, academic, and systemic research into objective, actionable data for complex legal matters. A critical gap in the justice system is the accurate understanding of how physical, cognitive, intellectual, and psychiatric disabilities impact an individual’s legal standing, capacity, and vulnerability. I provide expert-witness consultation and objective assessments for defense and prosecution teams navigating criminal law cases involving individuals with disabilities. My evaluations include behavioral mitigation, adaptive functioning, intention, and accountability, ensuring judicial outcomes are grounded in empirical clinical reality.
Beyond criminal mitigation, I apply my forensic rehabilitation expertise to personal injury, medical malpractice, and workers compensation cases. Utilizing rigorous vocational assessments, transferrable skills analyses, and labor market data, I objectively evaluate an individual's loss of earning capacity, future employability, and long-term life-care needs following a catastrophic injury or disabling event. I provide attorneys with definitive, trial-ready expert evaluations to accurately quantify damages and establish structural support plans.
My forensic consulting practice is built upon a diverse professional foundation. I have served as an Adjunct Professor at Utah State University, instructing graduate-level rehabilitation and psychiatric coursework, and worked within state and school district systems as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor and Transition/Behavior Specialist. This clinical and academic rigor is balanced by my practical experience as a small business co-owner in the agricultural sector, providing me with a unique perspective from the employer side. Whether collaborating with multidisciplinary legal teams or designing behavioral interventions, my mission is to drive systemic equity, advocacy, and education through precise, data-driven expertise.
