Clinical services
Pre-employment & fitness for duty evaluationsI conduct pre-employment and fitness for duty evaluations for law enforcement agencies. I work independently in Orange County and also with Shaffer Psychological Institute in San Pedro. Most recently, I have been providing services for LA County Sheriffs and the City of Anaheim. I have completed all educational requirements set forth by California POST. When I am able, I will accept requests for second opinion/appeal evaluations.
Forensic EvaluationsI am able to conduct a variety of criminal forensic evaluations, including: competence to stand trial (adults & juveniles), competence to waive Miranda rights, insanity/mental state at the time of offense, sentencing, and risk assessments.

Training & EducationI am available for paid and pro-bono speaking engagements. In the past, I have given talks to attorneys and judges, police officers and law enforcement agencies, and community groups on a variety of topics within my areas of expertise. I am passionate about sharing information about mental disorders in order to help decease stigmatization and to improve the interaction of the legal and law enforcement communities with those who have a mental illness.

consultationI enjoy working with police organizations to assist in developing research projects that help evaluate the effectiveness of current practices, in planning programs that improve organizational functioning, and in creating services that promote officer wellness. I am available to discuss any ideas or requests for help in these areas and beyond. Please feel free to contact me via email or phone to discuss your needs.
