I have been practicing clinical psychology since 1970, and I received my California license in 1972. My areas of specialization have focused on child development, parenting, trauma resulting from sexual and physical child abuse, parent-child attachment, and cognitive-behavioral therapy with children. A new dimension to my practice in recent years has been working with adult plaintiffs in personal injury cases, who are alleging that they were sexually abused as children.
My role has been to conduct forensic psychological testing batteries, in the context of Independent Medical Examinations (IME's). As a part of this work, I have provided deposition and trial testimony about the mental status of the individual in question, and the long term effects of trauma. In my child abuse work, I have conducted more than one-hundred forensic evaluations involving allegations of child sexual abuse, and I have testified as an expert witness in a large number of these cases.
I have served as an expert witness on other child-related issues, reviewing evaluations that have been conducted by other mental health professionals, and I have testified in Bay Area Family Courts, Juvenile Courts, and in Superior Court jury trials.
