Program administration experience, not a weekend certification — the distinction that matters when a report gets cross-examined.
My work sits at the intersection of corrections and mental health administration. For 16 years I've worked directly with seriously mentally ill (SMI) incarcerated individuals — not as an outside observer reviewing a case file cold, but from inside the day-to-day administration of correctional mental health programs.
That experience covers how mental health care is actually staffed, documented, escalated, and — when systems fail — how those failures show up in the record. It's the same lens I bring to a case review: what should have happened at intake, during a crisis, or in a segregation placement, versus what the documentation shows actually happened.
I currently serve as Corporal, security staff, with the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services, alongside this independent consulting and expert-witness practice.
This is deliberately narrow. Clinical evaluations, diagnoses, and treatment recommendations require a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist — this practice does not perform those services, and any case requiring one should be routed to a licensed clinical expert alongside this administrative/systemic review.
Case review and testimony where a client's mental health status, treatment, or crisis response inside a facility is material to the case.
Standards-of-care and systemic-indifference analysis for individual and class claims involving correctional mental health care.
Policy review, staff training, and program consulting for organizations working with people transitioning out of incarceration.
