The principal focus of my medical psychiatric practice is my psycho-therapeutic work with individuals, children and families.  I also perform medication evaluations for patients on a referral basis for non-prescribing therapists.  In addition, I may perform psychiatric evaluations on request.  I am board-certified in general  (adult) and child psychiatry separately.

My forensic psychiatric practice involves matters at juvenile, superior and federal court levels - both criminal and civil.  I serve as a psychiatric expert witness in consultation, evaluations and depositions as well as courtroom testimony.  I am board-certified in legal or forensic psychiatry.

Specific references are available upon request.
