Specialties & Experience of this Expert Witness

Additional Information

I am a former Professor at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, where I held appointments in the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology & Psychiatry. I have received training in both clinical and forensic evaluation with specialized training in the forensic assessment of harassment, discrimination, assault, retaliation, reproductive/fertility clinic trauma, and other trauma litigants. For the last 20+ years, I have specialized in the study of harassment, discrimination, assault, retaliation, reproductive medicine/ObGyn trauma, and other trauma experiences: their risk factors and organizational causes, their psychological and other consequences, the ways in which victims respond to these situations, and how organizations can prevent, discourage, and remedy these problems. I have also specialized in the study of forensic evaluation and experiences of individuals involved in litigation. I have published on these topics in peer-reviewed scientific journals in my field, have trained and supervised others in conducting forensic evaluations, and have lectured numerous times on these topics. I have been qualified as an expert witness in federal and state courts and have provided consultation to numerous private attorneys. I have participated in psychological evaluations of numerous plaintiffs involved in civil lawsuits alleging harassment, discrimination, assault, retaliation, reproductive/fertility clinic/ObGyn trauma, and other trauma litigation at the request of both plaintiff and defense attorneys and have testified in federal and state court. As an expert in forensic psychological evaluation, I am also retained to evaluate the reliability and/or validity of other experts' evaluations/opinions. I am permitted through PSYPACT to conduct evaluations in-person and via video conferencing in 40+ states.
