My heroes are families living with Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias. I enjoy helping them navigate the journey from the first symptoms through hospice. There is much that Alzheimer's can teach us: patience, empathy, enjoying the moments of life. I have worked with thousands of families and offer expertise in early diagnosis, both behavioral and pharmacologic management of symptoms, optimizing function, and caregiver issues. It is my privilege to assist families' efforts toward optimizing quality of life.

I am a psychiatrist who specializes in depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. I appreciate the idea of patients having not only access to medication management and psychotherapy but also the latest interventional psychiatric treatments such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Esketamine nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression. I see TMS and Esketamine as great options for patients to consider when medication management and therapy alone do not provide adequate relief for depression. I am excited to see how these treatments evolve and develop over time as accessibility to these modalities improves.

I strive to create a collaborative relationship with my clients. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship begins with understanding my clients as they see themselves and the goals that they have for themselves. This understanding allows for an individual treatment plan to be created which may include medication management, motivational interviewing, and brief supportive therapy to address my client's needs. I believe that the best treatment outcomes are found in a multidisciplinary treatment approach, therefore I often encourage my clients to consider combined treatment with a therapist.
