Forensic & Court Services
Forensic social work evaluations from a trauma-informed, licensed clinical social worker.
I provide comprehensive, well-substantiated forensic social work evaluations that assist attorneys, courts, and agencies in understanding the full context of an individual's lived experiences.
My Services:
-
Comprehensive, court-informed evaluations designed to assess parenting capacity, family dynamics, and the best interests of the child. Using a structured, multi-domain assessment process, I provide attorneys, courts, and families with clear, objective findings to support informed decision-making in custody and parenting matters. Evaluations are conducted with clinical rigor and sensitivity to the complexities each family brings, and reports are written to withstand scrutiny in legal proceedings.
-
Clinical assessments utilizing ASAM criteria to evaluate co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns. These evaluations identify appropriate levels of care, inform treatment planning, and provide documentation for legal, employment, or licensing purposes where a clear understanding of substance use and its clinical context is required.
-
In-depth psychosocial evaluations designed to provide courts and legal teams with a fuller picture of a client's history, including developmental, family, trauma, and mental health factors relevant to sentencing or case disposition. These evaluations offer context that supports more informed, humane legal outcomes.
-
Clinical evaluations that assess the psychological impact of a specific incident, injury, or dispute. Findings document the presence, severity, and origin of emotional distress, providing objective clinical support for personal injury, civil, or employment-related legal matters.
-
Evaluations assessing the psychological and emotional impact of workplace incidents, conditions, or disputes, including harassment, discrimination, or occupational stress. Findings offer employers, attorneys, and courts a clinically grounded understanding of how workplace factors have affected an individual's mental health and functioning.
My Approach
Evaluations grounded in a culturally responsive, trauma-informed approach, with open communication throughout to ensure each evaluation meets the specific needs of the case.
