panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, OCD, and phobias), post-partum depression, and PMS (premenstrual dysphoric disorder), . I also specialize in geriatric psychiatry. While I am an expert in medication treatment, I also provide supportive and problem-solving psychotherapy, in order to help people solve problems that are contributing to their symptoms. I consider myself a holistic doctor. I encourage mindful techniques, exercise, good nutrition, and a few herbal/over-the-counter compounds that have been studied and found to be safe and effective also. I do not treat addiction or eating disorders.
First session
In their first session with me, patients will be given a diagnosis and treatment recommendations. The conditions I treat do not have cures, but I offer hope that I will be able to relieve their symptoms, and improve their lives.
Strengths
My greatest strengths include my years of experience,, patience, empathy, and persistence. I try to find ways to connect with a wide variety of patients of diverse ages and backgrounds, while respecting appropriate boundaries.
Ideal clients
I do my best work with patients who are aware that most psychiatric medications take a while to work, and who know that good mental health involves more than just taking medication. I welcome patients from 18 through the geriatric years.
