Behavioral Analysis in Litigation Involving Trauma and Coercion
I work with attorneys who are evaluating behavior shaped by trauma, coercive control, or high-pressure relational dynamics.
I provide structured, context-based analysis to clarify what behavior indicates — and what it does not — in high-stakes legal matters.
For attorney inquiries and expert consultation, see Expert Services.

Litigation Consultation & Expert Analysis
I consult with legal teams in cases involving:
  • Allegations of coercive control
  • Recantation or narrative shifts
  • Constrained or loyalty-based compliance
  • Disputed consent under pressure
  • Contradictory or trauma-shaped presentation
  • Misinterpretation of affect, disclosure, or delay
My role is analytical and neutral.
I evaluate behavior within its psychological and relational context, distinguishing trauma response, coercive influence, and strategic action. I provide structured reasoning that supports clear decision-making in complex human cases.
Services may include:
  • Case consultation
  • Behavioral analysis
  • Expert reports (where appropriate)
  • Deposition and trial testimony
My work is grounded in medical training, behavioral science, and forensic reasoning. It is not therapy and not advocacy.
Speaking & Professional Education
I provide lectures and training for legal and clinical audiences on:
  • Coercive control and compromised autonomy
  • Trauma-shaped and contradictory presentation
  • Credibility assessment in high-pressure dynamics
  • Institutional blind spots in evaluating behavior
These presentations are designed for professionals operating in adversarial or liability-sensitive environments. They focus on analytical frameworks and applied interpretation.
