Make initial contact with me using this webpage’s contact form. I typically respond within 1 business day. After that we can communicate as you prefer- I most commonly communicate via email and brief phone calls.

I find that brief communications are very helpful in making sure we are identifying the best ways to support veteran claims. If you have questions, please reach out.

Brief initial consultations are at no cost.

I request one fee for records review nexus opinions and a different fee for comprehensive evaluations in which I meet with the veteran. All comprehensive evaluations include any needed nexus opinions. Contact me for pricing and for sample opinions and reports.

A nexus opinion can typically be provided within 7-10 business days after records are received and a case strategy is agreed upon (i.e., nexus opinion vs. full psychological evaluation). A full psychological evaluation report can typically be provided within 7-20 business days, depending on the veteran’s availability for scheduling the exam. 

Virtually all examinations are conducted via telehealth. If a veteran lives in Colorado and wants to schedule in person at our office that can be arranged. As a PSYPACT APIT holder I am authorized to work with veterans in 44 states.

I am licensed in Colorado and New York and can provide services in both of those states (in person or via telehealth; virtually all services are provided virtually). Additionally, as a PSYPACT APIT holder I am authorized provide services in 44 states via telehealth. Click here to view the PSYPACT Map.

Yes. Case consultation via email, phone, or video call often helps to expedite developing a case strategy together. There is no cost for a brief initial consultation.

Yes. Approximately half of my caseload involves serving veterans who were previously denied service connection, often due to negative opinions rendered at prior C&P exams. I regularly review these types of cases to determine whether the unfavorable opinion has been adequately or inadequately developed. Frequent problems with prior unfavorable opinions include incomplete review of records, unclear or insufficient rationale, lack of thorough assessment of symptoms, failure to review and consider treatment documentation, and failure to consider scientific psychological research findings.  

Rocky Mountain Veteran Evaluations conducts thorough, objective assessments of veteran mental health concerns for the purposes of supporting claims for VA disability. If a veteran’s service history and mental health status does not lend itself to a thorough and objective evaluation report being helpful to the veteran, I will inform you of this at the initial consultation phase and we can discontinue the case with no fee being charged. 

Additionally, obtaining a 100% rating and/or TDIU solely for a mental health condition requires clear evidence of a very high level of impairment. I am only likely to be able to be helpful in these cases when documentation of mental health impairment and occupational impacts are well documented independent of an examination.
