Expert Services & Litigation Consulting

I work with attorneys and legal teams on matters involving complex interpersonal and institutional dynamics, offering forensic-informed analysis to support case understanding and strategy. My work focuses on patterns of presentation that are frequently misinterpreted in criminal, family, and civil matters, particularly where behavior may be shaped by pressure, dependency, influence, or coercive control.

Areas of Consultation

  • Behavioral Interpretation

    Analysis of behavior shaped by trauma, coercion, influence, or high-pressure environments, including patterns frequently misinterpreted in legal contexts.

  • Coercion and High-Control Dynamics

    Consultation on psychological coercion, dependency, relational control, cult dynamics, trafficking-related coercion, and behavioral adaptation under sustained influence.

  • Credibility and Presentation Analysis

    Interpretation of inconsistent statements, recantation, flat affect, delayed disclosure, contradictory presentation, and other behaviors commonly misunderstood in trauma-involved matters.

  • Litigation Support

    Case consultation, behavioral analysis memos, document review, attorney strategy support, and preparation related to testimony or adversarial proceedings.

  • Expert Speaking and Professional Training

    Educational presentations and trainings for legal teams, agencies, institutions, and professional audiences on coercive control, trauma-shaped behavior, and institutional response.


Relevant Experience

  • Criminal cases

  • Domestic violence–related proceedings

  • Human trafficking–related legal matters
