I am a board-certified psychiatrist who has been practicing for over thirty years. My training consisted in many rotations at Yale and the University of Illinois. Since training, I have spent most of my clinical practice in acute inpatient, which is high-intensity and the most conducive to perfecting my ability to practice psychiatry. I am motivated to provide the best and most effective method in treating psychiatric disorders.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

My first session involves conducting a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. All aspects of the individual are taken into account. This consists of learning about upbringing, medical issues, psychological issues, occupational issues, previous psychiatric evaluations, and treatments. Additional information about the family will be obtained. Emphasis will be placed on the current symptoms and how they effect functioning and satisfaction with life. I will then present various treatment options, including the benefits and risks of each. During follow-up sessions, I will evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment and determine if there are any side effects or concerns. I will review additional options if the treatment is not going as expected. Between sessions, I encourage patients to contact me if there is a problem or if they are doing well. During the first session, I provide the person with multiple ways I could be reached.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My approach is laser-focused, precision medication management. In addition to my clinical expertise, I mentor medical students, residents, and fellow providers.
