My client base is made up of individuals who have been with me for a median of 10-15 years. They all receive highly personalized treatment. I bring years of medical experience from hospital based care as well as many years of research in field such as depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, migraine, insomnia, Parkinson's, and dementias. This multifaceted background allows me to deal with a wide range of difficulties that arise during the course of treatment.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

My consultation consists of a very detailed history where I will go over your current problems as well as past mental health history, medication history, treatment history, medical history, family history, substance use history, and trauma history. I also send out forms beyond those provided by Grow Therapy.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As opposed to many providers, I have a very multifaceted background. I have years of being a professor of psychiatry at 3 major universities in my area, totaling some 33 years. I have been director of a number of psychiatric programs over the same period of time. I have led research programs and directed a number of management programs, all the while maintaining a clinical practice. I have board certifications in psychiatry and neurology, addiction medicine, and geriatric psychiatry. This broad range of experience is one that is not commonly seen amongst psychiatric providers, and allows me to take a more holistic view of you.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am most effective with people who are committed to their own care.
