Forensic Assessment
About My Practice
Forensic psychology is a specialization within psychology for which an individual should have extensive education and training. As stated previously, I partook in a psychology-law concentration in graduate school, and received additional training on forensic matters during my Pre-Doctoral Internship at the Federal Bureau of Prisons and Post-Doctoral Forensic Fellowship at State Operated Forensic Services. In addition, I was the psychological evaluator assigned by the State of Nebraska to determine whether or not sexual offenders met the criteria to be classified as a Dangerous Sex Offender prior to discharge from any Nebraska state prison, including Omaha Correctional Center, Nebraska State Penitentiary and the Lincoln Correctional Center.
