I am a board-certified psychiatrist. Psychiatrists are physicians trained in treating mental illness with both medication and talk therapy. My education included four years of medical school after college, and six years of additional psychiatric training. If you are interested in becoming a new patient, please review my Policies and Rates.

Should I see a psychiatrist
Report
Everyone has stress. Everyone has ups and downs. Everyone worries sometimes. However, when these experiences interfere with your ability to do what you need to do or to enjoy life, you may benefit from therapy or medication. My clients often tell me they cannot stop thinking about events that have happened or what might happen.
What happens when I call
Report
Therapy is such an important process that it's essential to find someone compatible with you. When you first call, we will spend several minutes discussing what your needs are and what my approach is. If it seems we are a good fit, then we will schedule an appointment for an extended session for me to gather information about your childhood, your physical and mental health, and your current symptoms and life situation.
What is psychiatric treatment
Report
I was drawn to psychiatry since it views health through a lens of the whole person: the physical, the mental and the social. Biological aspects of treatment can include medication to manage symptoms and discussion of lifestyle changes to improve physical wellness, such as exercise and techniques to improve sleep.
