About Me
Hello, and thank you for visiting my site! I am a psychiatrist who specializes in the treatment of adult patients. I have a warm, collaborative style and believe in a multimodal approach to wellness. I am invested in careful diagnosis and diligent use of medications with a focus on integrative and holistic care. Therapeutically, my style is based in principles of cognitive, dynamic and supportive therapy. Behavioral skills, nutritional and general health principles are emphasized along with treatment with medications.
I have experience treating a wide range of clinical issues and enjoy seeing patients from different walks of life. I look forward to hearing from you and coming up with an individual plan that suits your specific needs.
