Great to meet you!
I have been a psychiatrist for over 26 years and have worked in different settings. including inpatient, outpatient, VA, prison and substance use programs. I have a background in medicine which I enjoy as well.

Above all I am honest with my patients. I will not tell you something that I don't believe is true or I cannot follow through with. It is important to listen to the person whom I am treating and also remember that medicine is not the only solution. I do not like to prescribe several medications at once, however it is warranted in some cases and will do so if needed. I worry about side effects especially metabolic syndrome which we can address as well if necessary.
I am direct and practical. I not only look at the psychiatric but also the medical aspect of the patient helping them to achieve and maintain overall health.
My goal is to help you the best that I can.
