Are you a parent looking for someone who can help your child or teen when you know they could be doing better in school or socially? I am a psychiatric APRN who specializes in treating children and adolescents (through 17 years-of-age) who are experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD and symptoms from autism or trauma. My approach is conservative, using the lowest effective dose of psychotropic medication, avoiding multiple meds, while also considering whether medical conditions or learning issues may be affecting progress. As indicated, I interface with parents, schools, therapists and the PCP to ensure medications are effective.

I worked in the Department of Psychiatry at UCONN Health practicing evidence-based medicine for 28 years.
