Forensic Evaluation. Reentry Consulting. Clinical Excellence.

Courts need evaluators they can trust. Attorneys need clinicians who understand both the law and the human being behind the case. Justice-involved individuals need support that sees the whole picture. Mental health professionals need a guide into forensic practice.

At Anchored in Essence, we serve all of them.

Through independent forensic mental health evaluations, court-mandated therapy, concierge case management, reentry consulting, and professional training I bring clinical precision and over a decade of direct practice to every case and every clinician we support.
