Psychiatrist, MD
Verified
Are you running your mind or is your mind running you? In a post COVID-19 era, many of us are adjusting to greater uncertainty while receiving less social support than previous generations. It’s certainly a profitable time for narcotic manufacturers, social media companies, and video streaming services. People have many more avenues of escaping from life, existing in a state of abstract catatonia. I work with people who are motivated to change their life and strive for their full potential.

Psychiatrist, MD

I can't imagine an ideal client because I see a broad range of clients and I enjoy helping them all. The typical patient who comes to me needs help with depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, addiction, or another disorder and may have a family history of these symptoms or diagnoses. They are usually wanting to understand their symptoms and gain an accurate understanding or diagnosis. Medication may be appropriate for some of these patients.
