I am a board certified child and adult psychiatrist in private practice for 30 years. I am highly trained to do psychiatric evaluations, various types of psychotherapy and medication consultations for psychiatric conditions. My approach varies depending on the need of the individual, the couple or the family. I work collaboratively with my patients. I attempt as broad of a view of each individual as possible. I look at environmental, social, psychological, and biological forces; and use this holistic view when considering the designing of a course of treatment for an individual.
For adults, I treat psychiatric conditions including states of depression and/or mania, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive concerns, impulse disorders, substance abuse issues. ADD, sleep disturbances, stress related medical complications, self esteem and relationship struggles. For children and Adolescents, all the above as well as school and family conflict.
My goal is to see the whole person and to integrate as many healthy approaches as the person is open to so that it facilitate a more complete and lasting healing of underlying problems.
