As an applied psycho-legal research scientist, I study decision-making in high-risk contexts, with particular interest in applications to litigation, security, and persuasion / disinformation. At Southern Miss, I teach students pursuing careers in criminal justice, and manage our graduate (M.S.) program. My work is informed by my own interdisciplinary background, which includes over a decade of practice and leadership in human service and forensic, community-based behavioral health.I routinely conduct experimental and non-experimental studies on defendant decision-making, sexual violence, and criminal legal system issues. My website and Google Scholar profile provide an up-to-date listing of my published work.In addition to my work at Southern Miss, I - Provide training to clinicians (on ethical/legal forensic practice topics) and attorneys (on working with experts and challenging/complex clients), and- Consult on forensic and complex trauma cases, providing contract supervision to clinicians in training and legal case support / expertise. Please note: though I am licensed to practice in MA and MS, I am not currently taking private practice treatment clients.
