I have been working in mental health over 26 years and understand the importance of having a knowledgeable, caring and compassionate provider. I do not judge based on previous treatments or providers opinions. I treat individuals based on their specific symptoms rather than diagnosis because every individual is different and what might work for one may not work for another. I understand how mental illness can affect families and family dynamics from personal experience.

I was drawn to psychiatry after working with elderly patients with dementia and found I loved to help individuals who suffer with mental illness. Over the years I have become proficient treating patients with many different mental health conditions including:

Autism, Developmental Disabilities, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Bi-polar disorders and psychotic disorders

I don't type during the main part of appointments. I find this impersonal and I want to really understand what my patients are saying and describing.

First session is usually the longest. I will include background information, previous treatments and/or medications, what has helped or not and develop a treatment plan individual to each patient. Medication is prescribed, if needed
