ABOUT ME

I am a board certified child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist who works hard to practice  psychotherapy and psychopharmacology in both a private & supportive setting.  While I strongly believe in pharmacologic interventions backed by empirical evidence, I am a firm believer in the value of therapy & more holistic interventions (exercise, diet, meditation, mindfulness). I understand the importance of shoring up wellness rather than treating illness, and you can expect to spend a significant amount of time discussing the importance of sleep, fitness and nutrition, in addition to tackling deeper psychological issues. I have also completed a fellowship in forensic psychiatry and am experienced in evaluations for both civil and criminal matters.
 
In my practice, I see children, adolescents & adults and I find that my friendly, personable manner helps improve rapport to make accurate diagnoses and provide the most encompassing treatment plans.  If you are interested in meeting with me, please contact me through the site.  In your message, please be sure to leave some times when we can speak briefly by phone. We can discuss your concerns and speak about how I can help, then schedule an appointment if appropriate.
