The most common feedback I get from patients is gratitude for “really listening.” I think that properly understanding your experience is fundamental to providing effective care. I will work with you collaboratively and respectfully to improve your emotional well-being. Together, we will clarify your personal goals, and work towards reaching them. This process will consider the broader scope of your life experiences (biological, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual context). Based on an accurate diagnosis, I utilize a variety of tools, including medication, therapy, and lifestyle modification to help you reach your goals.

Not accepting new clients
I usually see patients relatively short term. I'm 77 and not sure how long I will keep practicing. Many patients can get medications prescribed by their PCP after having a consultation or brief treatment with me and I am happy to consult with your PCP. If someone wants longer term psychiatric care I will work with you on finding that. I am especially interested in treating anxiety and ADHD, tho recently I have been trying to use non-controlled medicines for the latter due to difficulty obtaining stimulants and reluctance of primary care providers to prescribe them. I like doing behavior therapy for phobias and OCD.
