As a Board-Certified psychiatrist, trained in General Psychiatry and Child/Adolescent Psychiatry, I offer psychiatric services including comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and treatment for most psychiatric conditions to ages 5-60. My approach is patient-centered and engaging. I place a premium on creating an effective collaboration. I enjoy working with adults, kids and teens. My expertise in using a variety of types of psychotherapy, integrative/functional medicine and psychiatric meds means that I can offer an assessment and treatment plan that suits an individual's/family's needs and values.

ServicesI offer individual approaches to adult, child and teen problems. My goal in any therapy relationship is to give the person great depth of understanding of their emotional life, resulting in greater flexibility in responding to life's challenges. I work with a wide variety of psychiatric problems common among school age children and adults. In regard to medication, I'm skilled using tradtional, complementary and alternative approaches. I am a preferred provider for: PEER and Genomind testing to find the best supplements/medication combination more rapidly. Functional and integrative medicine training allow me to offer recommendations for those wishing to avoid medication treatment.Additional ServicesTwins, Teens, substance abuse, individual therapy, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, adult ADD, panic attacks, anxiety, relationship problems, social anxiety, couples therapy, genetic counselling
