I am a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and Adult Psychiatrist with over 19 years of service to children, families and adults. I use a strength based approach to healing focused on developing self-awareness through compassion. As part of the healing process, I support families in their journey to uncover the wisdom hidden in their distress. I have experience in treating depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, Autism Spectrum disorders and PTSD. I specialize in Mind Body approaches to healing, integrating movement, exercise, nutrition and restful sleep strategies into treatment plans.
My approach to diagnosis involves a thorough evaluation of both strengths as well as symptoms. Sleep, nutrition, exercise, relationships and exposure to nature are addressed along with potential need for medication. If medication is recommended, a plan using the lowest possible dose and duration will be emphasized.
Please feel free to contact me to ask any questions you have about the process. I look forward to speaking with you.
