Diagnosis and treatment of patients ranging from infancy to adulthood. As a pediatric psychologist, I assess and treat attachment disorders, pervasive devlopmental disorders, depression and anxiety disorders (including post traumatic stress in all age groups). In adult populations, I specialize in the use of cognitive behavioral treatment of anxiety and mood disturbances. A major focus involves social anxiety, panic and PTSD, depression and and patients with accompanying medical conditions. Forensic services,in relation to personal injury, criminal defense, mental capacity,and child/family matters, at the Federal and State levels throughout the United States. Bilingual (Spanish/English) services.

I am not favorably inclined towards the use of medications, except in rare instances.In most instances, I do not find them relevant or necessary for complete stabilization. As a pediatric psychologist,I often involve family members and parenting figures,as necessary.
