Additional Information: I have a broad range of interests as a psychiatrist, with a particular focus on the intersection of both addiction and psychosomatic medicine with forensic issues. In the past I have represented attorneys whose clients have wrestled with issues including testamentary capacity, competency to participate in both medical or financial decision making, DUI/DWI defenses, impulse control disorders and their impact with the law. I genuinely enjoy forensic psychiatry and offer excellent diagnostic and verbal skills which are able to produce impeccable results when I am retained.
