I primarily work with adolescents and adults seeking medication evaluation and ongoing medication management for a range of issues including anxiety disorders, OCD, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, ADHD, and comorbid mental health and substance abuse.
I believe medication is a tool to be used in addition to psychotherapy and always strive to use the least amount of medication as possible.

I strive to understand each of my clients as an individual and to craft treatment options that are most appropriate to their needs and preferences. I have found that, where possible, it is best to take a minimalist approach to medication interventions, balancing these with appropriate therapy interventions and focus on life changes that can improve a client's mental health or addiction difficulties. I bring many years of caring treatment experience to each of my client's individual needs. I look forward to working with you.

FAQ - Anxiety Psychiatrists
When should you consider seeing a psychiatrist for anxiety?
Anxiety is a common mental health condition that can develop at any point across the lifespan and may present in various forms, such as social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, phobias, and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). While occasional anxiety is a normal part of life, in some cases it can become so overwhelming that it interferes with a person’s ability to function effectively at work, maintain healthy relationships, or carry out everyday responsibilities. In such instances, seeking support from a psychiatrist who is familiar with the complexities of anxiety can be an important step toward reducing symptoms.

What to expect during anxiety treatment?
At the beginning of treatment, psychiatrists generally conduct an assessment or evaluation to better understand a client's symptoms, medical history, and specific needs. This assessment helps them determine the most appropriate course of action, which may include therapy, medication, or a combination of both. In the case of anxiety, psychiatrists often recommend evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, exposure therapy, or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—all of which have been shown to be effective in helping individuals reduce anxiety and develop healthier coping strategies. As treatment progresses, psychiatrists typically meet with clients on a regular basis to monitor their response to medications and therapeutic interventions, making adjustments when necessary to ensure that the treatment remains effective and aligned with the client’s goals. In many cases, they collaborate closely with other mental health professionals, such as psychotherapists or social workers. While the length of treatment varies from person to person, many individuals attend weekly sessions over the course of several months, which allows time for medications to take full effect. For others, shorter-term therapy may be sufficient, depending on the nature and severity of their anxiety symptoms.

How to find a psychiatrist for anxiety?
The Psychology Today online directory can be a helpful resource for locating psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in anxiety and related conditions, and it allows users to filter results based on treatment focus, insurance, cost, and provider background. Because anxiety is so prevalent, most psychiatrists have experience in diagnosing and treating it. However, when searching for a provider, it is often helpful to ask about their specific experience with anxiety and to inquire about their general approach to treatment. It is also important to confirm whether the psychiatrist accepts your insurance or whether their out-of-pocket costs are manageable for you. Additionally, for some individuals, especially those from marginalized communities, finding a psychiatrist who shares or has familiarity with their cultural, racial, or gender identity can make a significant difference in the effectiveness of care.
