As a double boarded psychiatrist with 24 years of clinical experience in adult, child and adolescent outpatient psychiatry, I have observed the developmental process through much of the lifespan. I strive to establish a strong rapport with my patients by listening to each story while incorporating psychodeucation and supportive therapy into each session to empower my patients to have the skills needed to function at their best.
During your first session, I will conduct a psychiatric evaluation to understand your concerns and goals, to formulate a diagnosis and provide recommendations for treatment. I will inquire about your mental health, personal and medical histories. Treatment recommendations may include therapy, medications, and lifestyle changes.
I try to create an environment for my patients to be heard and understood by taking the time to build trust and a therapeutic relationship.
While everyone is welcome, I will best serve patients who are committed to their treatment. I specialize in working with people navigating depression, anxiety, trauma and major life transitions. I offer a supportive, nonjudgemental space to help promote growth and healing. Because of my training and experience in child psychiatry, I also enjoy working with people who are navigating the challenges of parenthood, whether they are new parents or seasoned parents. Due to current and impending changes of DEA regulations for telehealth, I am not prescribing controlled substances at this time.
