Clients can expect to receive specialized forensic expertise in the area of psychology and its application to various legal issues.  Reflecting the tradition of psychology and the law, my training emphasizes the integration of psychological, research, and legal skills.

Over the course of my career, I have completed various types of assessments that included:

• Suitability for treatment programs
• Responsivity issues and treatment progress
• Fitness to stand trial
• Criminal responsibility
• Risk assessments for sentencing
• Risk assessments for community reintegration
  Potential Long Term and Dangerous Offender designations

I have also been trained in and facilitated various correctional treatment programs for various types of offending behaviours, including: violence, family violence, and sexual offending.  Clients seeking consulting services can expect to get a balanced review of the issues, education regarding psychological disorders, the potential impact within the legal context, and a comprehensive report based on the referral question.

Services are provided to enhance understanding of psychological issues with regard to current research and to address unique characteristics of a case.  Forensic research and consulting can also be used to review expert evidence for an additional opinion and to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of an assessment.
