Offerings

I deliver comprehensive forensic report support, from case conceptualization to full report drafting, so you can serve more families through client-facing work.

  • I write comprehensive evaluation report drafts that address concerns such as mental health and co-parenting problems and conflict. Reports are written to respond to evaluation questions and orders, including for opinions about the ultimate issues of custody, parenting time, and residency. I incorporate interviews of the parties, psychological assessment (when applicable), home visits and direct observation of parent-child interaction (when applicable), thorough document review, and contacts with collateral sources into evaluation reports.

    I draft reports for psychological assessments, Category E and F Guardian Ad Litem reports, parental capacity evaluations, and custody evaluations. I also write parent coordinator responses.

  • I conduct extensive document review of materials such as court filings, medical or mental health records, school records, client-submitted data, and other supplemental records. I review all data and deliver a list of file names for all submitted material and a summarized review of records that have the most direct bearing upon concerns.

  • Clinicians and attorneys often engage experts to review the work of other professionals to obtain a second opinion on a case formulation or to provide feedback on draft reports for clarity, coherence, and compliance with evidence-based practices and relevant statutes. My training and knowledge equip me with a unique lens to help evaluators identify strengths and weaknesses in their reports and case narratives.  

  • I offer strategic consultation for complex cases. I consider individual and comparative analysis of multiple people across dimensions identified by case-specific issues, relevant research, and clinical insights. I provide a summary of these elements and make recommendations to promote the current and future well-being and welfare of individuals, children, and families.

The Process

My goal is deliver clear and comprehensive drafts, making it easier for you to put reports in final form.

Here is a brief overview of how I typically work.

Initial consultation

We will discuss your needs, the scope of our work together, how we will share materials*, communication preferences, and relevant deadlines

Review of materials

I’ll review relevant data, including interviews, records, notes, and collateral information.

Second consultation

Before I begin drafting, it may be helpful to discuss the case and likely recommendations.

Document drafting

I’ll prepare a complete draft, conferring with you as appropriate.

Document delivery

You’ll receive the draft in an editable word document, making it easy for you to ready the report for submission.

* Privacy and Secure Data Sharing and Storage

Although confidentiality as it typically exists within mental health and legal professions does not exist in court-appointed forensic investigations, I am careful to maintain privacy and confidentiality to the fullest extent possible. I maintain a HIPAA-compliant Google Workspace environment and follow Google’s published requirements for HIPPA implementations for secure methods for receiving, storing, and sharing information with you. I am happy to tell you more about my data security procedures if desired.
