History
Given my doctoral degree in clinical psychology and unique specialized training in forensics, I established Expert Forensic Psych Consulting, INC. as there is a need in the Westchester area. This is especially true for the immigration psychological evaluations I conduct as there are just a few providers of this service in the area. I received specialized training in a maximum security forensic psychiatric hospital. There, I evaluated individuals to see if they were competent to stand trial, and provided psychotherapy with individuals found not guilty by reason of insanity. Prior to private practice, I worked for the New York City Police Department, which I still do as a consultant. I conduct pre-employment evaluations for police officers and various civilian positions, which are required to see if a job applicant is psychologically suitable for the position. Additional duties included emergency trauma debriefings/crisis intervention and providing expert witness testimony.
Specialties
I have extensive knowledge of the immigration process, including an in-depth understanding of the hardship factors that are necessary to receive approval. I went through this experience with my own family and understand how difficult it can be! I conduct a thorough evaluation and report that includes supporting documentation.
