I work best with patients who have a clear idea of their goals and are motivated to learn skills as well as gain deeper insights into themselves that will assist in fulfillment of their potential.
I am a double board certified adult and child psychiatrist. Among the cutting edge treatments used in my practice are TMS, an FDA approved intervention utilizing magnetic fields for treatment resistant depression and Spravato (esketamine), an FDA-approved rapid-acting antidepressant.
