Welcome

My goal is to combine empathy with excellent clinical skills and up-to-date knowledge of current medical practice. My practice philosophy is to offer the best possible care by being available directly and taking a collaborative approach to the medical treatment of psychiatric disorders. Your privacy is highly valued, thus treatment is provided in a safe and confidential manner.

I am dedicated to the care and well-being of my patients. You will be provided with clear and comprehensive information about your treatment options. You are welcome to do your own research, bringing in what you have learned and questions you may have about diagnoses, treatment, and prognosis to discuss in a constructive manner. I am particularly understanding of your concerns about medication adverse effects, including weight gain and sexual side effects. In conjunction with my knowledge of psychopharmacology, this will allow you to weigh the risks and benefits of a particular treatment, helping you choose the best treatment suited for you.

Not all conditions require medications, and sometimes the risks (e.g., side effects) outweigh the benefits. I also offer psychotherapy for those struggling with life stressors including marital difficulties, family stressors, the loss of a job or loved one, and prior or current trauma.
