Forensic Psychological Evaluations for Legal Proceedings

​

If you need an evaluation for a legal matter—such as Civil or Criminal case—I offer comprehensive assessments to help clarify clients'  history and any impacts on behavior. These evaluations provide important insights for legal proceedings and can support fair and informed decisions.

•  A meticulously prepared report suitable for legal proceedings

Evaluations are conducted via secure telehealth platforms or on-site at institutions such as jails and prisons, ensuring flexibility and confidentiality. I serve clients throughout San Diego, Los Angeles,  and Orange County.
