Forensic Services

Forensic psychology is the intersection of psychology and the law. I work with litigants, attorneys, and the judicial system to provide psychological services to assist the court.

I conduct a variety of evaluations to assist with legal matters. These range from mental health evaluations to forensic evaluations, such as competency to stand trial. My evaluations have been used in criminal, juvenile justice, civil, family law, and educational due process proceedings. More information about my experience and expertise can be found on this page.
