I embrace and encourage a healthy lifestyle to empower you to overcome your struggles with anxiety, depression and/or ADD/ADHD.

First session
We will explore your goal /goals for seeking mental health services. Initiation of the psychiatric evaluation-gathering necessary information -history, symptoms, past/current medications, possible diagnostic tests, treatment options. Depending on the complexity of the case, it is not uncommon two separate appointments may be required to complete a full evaluation. Rest assured, you will receive a very thorough assessment and evaluation and all questions will be answered.
Strengths
Having degrees in both psychiatry and primary care, my experience and strength is seeing the patient 'holistically' and getting to the root of the problem. This holistic approach of assessment takes time and therefore, an evaluation often consists of two separate appointments (initial evaluation and final evaluation). I see both children and adults with ADHD/ADD, Depression and Anxiety.
