Forensic Neuropsychology for Complex Criminal Cases

Board-certified neuropsychologist specializing in brain injury and neurodevelopmental conditions in serious felony, capital, and federal cases.

“My role is to bring clarity to complex questions at the intersection of brain function and behavior, providing courts with objective, scientifically grounded opinions in the most challenging cases.”

I provide consultation, neuropsychological evaluation, and expert testimony in complex criminal and civil cases where brain function, behavior, and responsibility are at issue. My work focuses on traumatic brain injury, emerging neurodevelopmental conditions such as FASD, and the ways cognitive vulnerability influences behavior, decision-making, and legal outcomes.

I am regularly retained in complex and high-stakes cases requiring clear, scientifically grounded opinions that can be communicated effectively to courts, attorneys, and juries.
