Forensic Psychiatrist in NJ - Expert witness, risk assessments, and more.

I established Mentis Forensic Psychiatry in 2016, offering forensic psychiatry services to all of New Jersey. I am licensed to practice medicine in New Jersey and am board-certified in general psychiatry and forensic psychiatry. I have been qualified as an expert witness in psychiatry in New Jersey Superior Court and have been asked to provide testimony in courts across the state.

I am a graduate of the Rutgers University – Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Forensic Psychiatry Fellowship Program, under the direction of Dr. Rusty Reeves. Since my completion of the program in July 2012, I have worked with maximum and “supermax” security state prison inmates and civilly committed, chronically ill adults. In addition to providing services at Mentis, I am currently employed at the Ann Klein Special Treament Unit in a forensic and clinical capacity, evaluating the risk of sexual recidivism in adult males, and also diagnosing and treating mental illness in the population. I “wear two hats” in the facility, which my personal ethics allow only because I keep these groups separate – it is important to me to keep my clinical work and forensic work separate when treating and evaluating an individual.

My services are available to the public and private sector for criminal and civil cases. Please contact me by telephone to discuss the details of your case at (908) 458-6670.
