Trauma, brain science, and psychological injury beyond the therapy room
I work at the intersection of clinical psychology, neuroscience, and real-world systems, focusing on how trauma and psychological injury affect functioning, identity, and outcomes in contexts where those effects are often misunderstood or minimized. My work spans forensic and consultative roles, selective clinical practice, writing, speaking, and media engagement related to trauma and brain science.
Focus
My work centers on trauma, brain science, and psychological injury as they appear in real-world contexts beyond traditional therapy. I engage in forensic and consultative roles, selective clinical practice, writing, speaking, and media work related to how trauma affects functioning, identity, and outcomes, particularly in settings where those effects are frequently misunderstood, minimized, or overlooked.
How this work shows up
This work often involves questions of credibility, causation, and impact—how psychological and neurological injury is evaluated, explained, and responded to in systems that are not designed to fully capture it. I am frequently involved where the effects of trauma are invisible on imaging, difficult to quantify, or dismissed as secondary, despite profound consequences for functioning and quality of life.
My approach draws on clinical psychology and neuroscience while remaining grounded in the realities of how trauma is understood, acted upon, and healed, both in and out the therapy room.
Professional roles
My work includes forensic and consultative involvement, selective clinical practice, writing and thought leadership, and speaking and media engagement related to trauma, PTSD, and brain science. These roles are distinct but connected by a shared focus on translating complex psychological realities into settings where accuracy, nuance, and rigor matter.
