- Therapeutic Stabilization of Children During Divorce More >> When parents are divorcing and the parental conflict has an adverse impact on their children, I work with the children, individually and as a sibling group, to help them adjust to the parental conflict, pressures from the divorce and the pending change in the family structure. Additionally, each parent is seen briefly with the children. The parents also may be seen individually or as a couple where focused interventions are used to stop the parents from pulling the children into their conflict. It is assumed that the parents will continue to battle with each other, but it is expected that they will do so outside the arena of the children. Issues such as a child's refusal to spend time with one of the parents may be addressed.

Specialized Practice in Divorce and Child Custody ¨ Collaborative Divorce• Collaborative divorce helps resolve the ending of a marriage without resorting to adversarial techniques or tactics.

More >> ¨ Pretrial Co-Parenting/Child Specialist ¨ Parenting Coordination • Parenting coordination is a child-focused alternative dispute resolution process for those parents who have difficulty implementing their parenting plans because of the ongoing conflict between them. More >> ¨ Specialized Forensic Services1 • I specialize in stabilizing families during and after a divorce. This involves two main approaches with the first focused on the children and the second focused on the parents. Co-parenting coaching and post-divorce conflict resolution also can be provided. This ability is assessed in an initial interview. 1Note these services are focused on relationship issues and not covered by insurance. I conduct forensic evaluations in most areas involving families (family forensics). Child custody evaluations are a major part of my forensic practice. These evaluations may involve custody, visitation, disruption of visitation, need for supervision, removal of supervision, relocation, etc. I only undertake a child custody evaluation when the court appoints me, or both parents through their attorneys select me as a neutral psychologist. In some cases, attorneys ask me to review the adequacy of the evaluation conducted by another psychologist. Family forensics is the area formed by the overlap between Family Psychology and Forensic Psychology. I have been evaluating children for the court since 1972. General Clinical Practice with a Specialty in Families, Children and Adolesents I have a general clinical practice and a clinical specialty in families, children and adolescents.
