Clinical & Forensic Psychiatry

SPECIALTIES

SPECIALIZED EXPERT WITNESS

I have focused my forensic practice based on my years of research, clinical practice, and teaching in sexual health and behavior.   Being an expert witness requires a mastery of the research and clinical aspects of the content.  I have chosen to narrow my forensic practice to the area I know best and have a network of colleagues and peers who continue to enrich my understanding of this complex topic.

  • 50+ state and federal cases related to online sex-offending behavior

  • Previous academic editor of an academic journal related to problematic sexual behaviors

  • Developer of multiple curriculum and presentations related to sexual health and problematic sexual behaviors

  • Research and training around doctors who violate sexual boundaries

EXPERIENCED CLINICIAN

While I have a focus in sexual health and behavior in my forensic practice, my adult outpatient practice is open to most individuals 16 and older who have a wide range of mental health problems.  I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience from my years of working in academic medicine and veteran’s hospitals and feel comfortable with even the most complex psychiatric problems appropriate for outpatient treatment.

  • 20+ years of clinical experience working in academic medical centers with patients with complex medical and psychiatric illnesses

  • Clinical experience with diverse patient populations in inpatient, emergency, outpatient, and medical settings

  • 15+ years of clinical practice, education, research, and forensic practice with individuals with problematic sexual behaviors

INNOVATIVE EDUCATOR

Leaving academics was a difficult decision because I love to teach.  However, the skill of explaining difficult concepts clearly and ensuring that others understand is a skill required in patient care, report writing, and courtroom testimony.  I pride myself on my clarity and directness.  

I am available to lecture, provide interactive workshops and/or provide consultation on a wide range of topics related to psychiatry, medical education and human sexuality.
