I have many years of experience in mental health and I enjoy working with people - children and adults from ages 6 to 65. I am a graduate of University of Pennsylvania. I try to be a good listener so that I hear the things that others haven't always heard. This supports the correct diagnosis and therefore the correct treatment.
I am easy to talk to and welcoming to my patients.I will complete an evaluation and sometimes utilize screeners and testing when appropriate. I make a diagnosis and prescribe medication and therapy during the first visit. All patients receiving controlled substances will be cleared through the Drug Monitoring System through the internet. Please know I do not manage disability paperwork/forms. I welcome LGBTQIA+ and all neurodivergent populations.
When my patients complete an appointment with me, I hope they feel that I have listened to their needs and what they wish to accomplish.. It is my goal to establish trust with my patient so they feel safe and confident while working with me.
Patients leave with a clear plan of care and prescriptions for medication with a scheduled follow up visit. They will have access to my email and office phone to reach out when needed.
