Going off to college and need help with treatment of ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD or other problem? Having trouble getting through your days?

Your struggles do not define you, rather, they are obstacles in your path. My style is one of empathetic listening, compassion, education, and options. I am not here to see you for a three minute telephone appointment every six months for a medication renewal; rather, I am here to support you and work with you to achieve your goals.

Though I treat a broad range of issues, the most common disorders that I treat include ADHD, anxiety disorders, and depression. Very often these problems interfere with the patient's school performance and may cause behavior problems at home as well. When inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, anxiety, or mood problems directly interferes with learning, or cause behavior issues that indirectly reduces a student's availability to learn, that student has an unnecessary impediment to achieving their full potential. The parents of my patients want their children to overcome these obstacles.

I treat children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of psychiatric conditions, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, disruptive and impulse control disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, trauma- and stressor-related disorders, eating disorders, psychotic disorders, and gender dysphoria. I do my best to help my patients to lead healthy, successful, and fulfilling lives in a way that aligns with their unique experiences and goals.

I started my career as a nurse in a state-run psychiatric emergency room where I treated patients along the entire spectrum of psychiatric illnesses; many of whom were in the most emotionally vulnerable time in their lives. Having experienced this severity of psychiatric illnesses everyday allowed me to develop a level of expertise to quickly recognize symptoms and develop an accurate diagnosis so we can initiate the best treatment plan for you from the very beginning. I understand that those suffering with emotional pain cannot wait months for relief, and they shouldn't have to. I understand the need for rapid healing.
