I am a board-certified psychiatrist, trained in both psychiatry and internal medicine. I specialize in mind-body medicine, which involves understanding the complex interactions between physical and mental health. Stress and other emotional factors have a strong influence on physical health, and similarly, physical symptoms and diagnoses can have a significant impact on mental health. Understanding and treating the mind and body together is an essential step towards wellness.

The latter is especially applicable if you are already in psychotherapy with another therapist. Lastly, I provide psychiatric and substance abuse evaluations whether requested by a patient, a court, or by a licensing institution.

Lately, you’re just going through the motions. You drag yourself from bed each morning, exhausted from a fitful night of sleep. As you drive to work, you can feel the dread growing – heart pounding, every muscle tensing. By the time you arrive, the anxiety is so overwhelming that you cope by switching on autopilot. So you move through your day in a daze. Eventually, you make it home, collapse on the couch, and try to distract yourself until you have to repeat the same thing the next morning. Something needs to change. Maybe you’ve seen a handful of psychiatrists but you're still struggling. It feels like you’ve tried everything.
