Any provider can prescribe a psychotropic medication - but there is considerable skill involved in creating a thoughtful and effective regimen tailored to each patient and their specific needs. I would say my specialties are depression, anxiety (generalized, social, OCD) and ADHD but I treat all types of psychiatric conditions. I try to get creative and I am not scared to use 'outside of the box' thinking when other methods have failed. I refuse to give up.

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

The first session is usually around 60 minutes, it consists of a complete psychiatric evaluation and takes into account a variety of factors including: psychiatric history, medication history, medical history, early life/childhood, experiences, substance use, trauma, etc. The first visit allows us to create the treatment plan and to start to put it into action. The goal is to make sure we are on the same page.

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

I LISTEN TO MY PATIENTS. That is my number one strength by far. I really enjoy working with patients who have treatment resistant depression and anxiety. Seeing my patients start to get better and to heal is just so rewarding.
