MD, 17 years of experience
Thank you for visiting my profile page. I am not accepting new clients at this time. I am not sure when I will be accepting new clients, so please stay posted on any updates. Thank you for viewing my profile today! I have worked as a psychiatrist for approximately 15 years and essentially in every setting. I do my best to personalize our appointment so that you find it to be a positive experience. I look forward to collaborating with you on how I might be of help! I do not have a particular answer in mind and throughout my career have worked with people of all ages and various backgrounds. Every person has a valuable story to share (if they are open to sharing) and I am very interested in learning about each person's journey that has gotten them to this point. And if at the first appointment, it appears that your needs would be best served by another provider, I will not hesitate to tell you so because I want to make sure you are receiving optimal and appropriate care.
I greatly value attuning to what people tell me in the first session, and I take a brief history so that I can get to know each person's life a bit more. At the same time, there is an adequate opportunity for people to share what they feel is most important. If we are not listening to what people who are under our care are telling us, we are not doing our job. With that said, some individuals may have more to share at the first appointment, while others do not. In any case, I try to get a feel for what each person is looking for and prioritizes most in that first appointment.
First and foremost, an appointment is an EXPERIENCE. So, my strengths are those aspects described as HELPFUL by the person who sees me in an appointment and may be different for each person based on their EXPERIENCE. I try to meet people WHERE THEY ARE so that they take away from sessions the feeling of personalized and attentive care, even if there is only that one appointment.

I am a psychiatrist and I have a background in psychotherapy as a result of personal interest in the amazing ability of it to change lives and create insight. I value alternative therapies (alternatives to medication) and a holistic approach to wellness greatly.

Wow. After switching between at least five different providers in psychiatry, I’m honestly surprised to say—wow. A doctor like him actually exists. I’m truly grateful to God for leading me to him. He went above and beyond for me in a way that felt rare, genuine, and deeply human. Five stars honestly aren’t enough. If anyone ever deserved to be called a doctor in the truest, most heroic sense—it’s him. I appreciate him immensely for going the extra mile when others wouldn’t. Thank you, Dr. F.

Dr. F is thoughtful in his approach to psychiatry and always takes time to listen fully to my concerns and needs as a patient. When it comes to suggesting new meds he always explains what they are for, what to expect and leaves room for me to ask any questions. And he does all this in a way that feels warm and empowering rather than condescending, which is delightful and sometimes rare in this profession. Thank you Dr. F!
