In my experience, life can be hard. It is part of the human experience and we all have ways of managing the ups and downs. At times, life's challenges can overwhelm our ability to cope. Symptoms or behaviors can emerge that interfere with our work, relationships, and quality of life. During these times, people often need professional help.
Being vulnerable and facing the more fragile parts of oneself can be the hardest thing some people ever do. It takes courage, strength, and determination. The good news is it's worth it! For many, working through one's challenges can be life-changing, transformative, and freeing. I am an adult psychiatrist who treats individual clients with a wide range of concerns.

Services
A solo practitioner, I treat adults age 18 and over. I try to provide a welcoming and safe environment for all of my clients. My goal is to create a space where my clients feel comfortable enough to share any personal information he/she believes is relevant to treatment. I realize this can be difficult for many people and preserve client information in a private and confidential manner.
The foundation of my clinical practice is rooted in the biopsychosocial model of medicine. This model believes that a biological understanding of a patient's illness is essential, but also acknowledges that psychological, social, and spiritual factors have profound effects on health and wellness. All treatment starts with an initial meeting/assessment.
My clinical practice is solidly grounded in traditional mental health care but also integrates mindfulness, mind-body medicine, and positive psychology. It is informed by a consultative approach accessing the client's inner strengths to achieve long-term results. Board Certified with a full medical license, I am trained medically to diagnose and treat psychiatric "disorders."
In general, tell me what you are looking to accomplish through our potential work together?* However, many of my clients have "out of network" mental health benefits that can provide partial reimbursement toward each visit. Please contact your insurance carrier to see if you have "out of network" mental health benefits.
