Many people visit this website as an introduction to my concierge psychiatry and psychotherapy practice. My psychiatric practice is based on two fundamentals: a personal relationship and state-of-the art, full-service care. If you want personalized care, if your time is at a premium, or if your situation is complex, we may be a good fit.
First and foremost, I believe that a healthy, caring relationship with a doctor that knows you-as a person-is the most important aspect of care. As such, I make our relationship a priority in your treatment, and pride myself on having a "first-name practice". I know all my patients, schedule our appointments myself, and will recognize you when you call.

To create the kind of practice I want for patients, I operate a full-service, "concierge" psychiatry practice, as opposed to an insurance-driven one. This allows me to focus on quality over quantity and on personalized service and accessibility over volume. Three advantages set a concierge practice apart from an insurance-driven psychiatry model:.
Treatment and Specialty Areas
Report
I have expertise and experience in treating the full range of brain-based illnesses, including attention disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma-based disorders, addiction, and substance abuse disorders. Regarding the latter, I am licensed to treat with buprenorphine (Suboxone) for opiate dependence.
About Psychotherapy
Report
There is good evidence that for many different mental health conditions and concerns, psychotherapy is effective and can change the brain. Not all psychiatric doctors practice psychotherapy, but I choose to. Though flexible based on your needs, my leaning is toward an emotion-focused, attachment-based, relational form of therapy.
