About

I work at the intersection of two professions that rarely occupy the same space: forensic psychology and tattooing. I am the owner of Sugar Land Psychological Associates, PLLC, an interdisciplinary group private practice providing therapy, clinical psychological assessment, and forensic services. As a forensic psychologist, I focus exclusively on conducting criminal forensic evaluations and other specialized assessments while overseeing the broader operation, growth, and clinical leadership of the practice. I am also the owner of Derek Ream Tattoos, LLC, a private tattoo studio centered on custom tattoo work and artistic development. Tattooing offers a very different medium, but one that also depends on precision, trust, and the ability to translate complex ideas into something permanent. Although these professions appear unrelated, both are grounded in close observation, disciplined craft, and understanding people beyond surface presentation. In one setting, that work involves forensic analysis, structured evaluation, and high-stakes psychological opinion. In the other, it takes shape through composition, detail, contrast, and permanent visual expression. Both paths reflect the same underlying value: creating work that is deliberate, technically strong, and meaningful.
