I am a Board Certified psychiatrist treating ADHD, depression, Bipolar Disorder, anxiety disorders, psychosis, insomnia, amongst other psychiatric illnesses. At your initial evaluation, I develop a treatment plan for a patient, that may include testing to rule out medical conditions that may contribute to symptoms, and treatment that may include psychiatric medication, psychotherapy or a combination of the two. I utilize medications with a gentle approach, using the least number of medications to effectively treat an illness, using minimal effective dosages to reduce side effects.

The providers at our clinic are dedicated to providing the most empathetic, effective, evidence-based treatment for our patients with mood and anxiety disorders. Our providers understand the complexities of the various psychiatric medications used to manage these illnesses so our treatments are more effective. We have often found that patients who are referred to us have been put on many psychiatric medications that may not be truly targeting the individual's symptoms. We take the time to truly understand our patients, therefore, our treatment is truly more tailored to the individual.
