I am a licensed psychologist in the state of California.My specialty is working with children and families. I do well with challenging cases and now am focusing on writing Child Custody Evaluations and providing alternative out-of-court solutions for separating parents. I was trained as an Evaluator by the LA Superior Court.I have written and consulted on several out of court solutions on behalf of parents who do not wish to participate in a full legal battle to shared custody. I have also conducted hundreds of workers compensation evaluations for insurance companies, as well as, detailed progress reports to the patients primary care doctors. This gives me a great deal of experience in writing reports for legal situations as well as for insurance companies and agreeable out of court solutions. The primary and most important objective to all custody cases is the well fare of the children. In order to insure the best outcome for the children, I must collect unbiased facts from parents, friends, neighbors, associates, teachers, etc. The LA Superior Court stressed the unbiased collection because these are always very emotional situations. I must not be influenced by my own life prejudice or that of those I interview, and it is not and will never be my opinions that effect the outcome. My reports have only the facts and a Judge will make the finally decision based on the findings in the report. Be aware that several in home visits may be required as well as interviews with daycare providers, doctors, social workers, neighbors, and other non family members that can enlighten the family values, habits, and living conditions. All discoveries and reports are strictly confidential with the exception of imminent harm or felony child endangerment which must by law be reported. In the case of formal child custody evaluations, that are used in court, I require a $7000 retainer fee paid in advance. Please email or call me for a free consultation. I look forward to helping you with your needs.
