Many patients have not seen results from previous providers or possibly received harmful care. Patients find my compassionate and targeted approach to biological and functional psychiatry appealing. I explain their symptoms, treatment options, risks/benefits/alternatives, and 'think outside the box'. I seek the "Root Cause" of psychiatric problems via holistic methods, rather than prescribing powerful psychotropic medications unnecessarily for symptoms that might be caused by other underlying issues.

Many people suffering from mental illness find it difficult to get an appointment with a provider because of their limited resources or the limitation imposed by their health insurance. Among those are clients suffering from Clinical Depression, Anxiety Disorders, OCD, ADHD, Panic Disorder, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, ASD, Alcohol Abuse and Schizophrenia Disorder. Those individuals are in need of an integrative mental health care and want to live a purpose driven life.

I work with adults age 25 and older seeking care for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, and PTSD, in person in Sarasota and by telehealth throughout Florida, in English and Spanish. Some arrive after years of treatment that never quite fit; others are seeking help for the first time. Psychological distress usually reflects a complex interplay of environmental, social, and psychological factors, not a single cause. Optimal care begins by listening to your story and understanding your goals. There are no magic pills or instant cures. I use medication when it is indicated, and say so plainly when it is not.

FAQ - About Geriatric Psychiatry
What do geriatric psychiatrists do?
Geriatric psychiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions rooted in the neurological and cognitive changes of aging, such as dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and mood disorders that may be complicated by cognitive decline. In addition, they help older adults and their families navigate decisions around medications, cognitive functioning, and care planning. Geriatric psychiatrists often collaborate with neurologists, primary care physicians, and other medical specialists to ensure that psychiatric treatment aligns with other components of a client’s care.
How do geriatric psychiatrists assess mental and physical health?
Given their medical training, geriatric psychiatrists are trained to conduct cognitive and neuropsychiatric evaluations that go beyond standard mental health assessments conducted by non-medical professionals, such as therapists. They evaluate memory, attention, executive function, and behavioral changes to distinguish between normal age-related cognitive decline and diagnosable conditions such as Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Because many neurological conditions can initially present with psychiatric symptoms, they also assess how various non-psychiatric medical factors, medications, and brain changes may contribute to a client’s condition. The results of these evaluations can inform treatment planning, including medication management, patient safety considerations, and potential referral to other specialists, such as a neurologist.
How can I find a geriatric psychiatrist?
Psychology Today's online directory helps users find psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in working with the geriatric population. The platform offers filters to narrow your search by specialty, such as dementia or Alzheimer's. Each provider profile includes detailed information on therapeutic approach, licensure, insurance plans accepted, languages spoken, and session fees, allowing you to assess whether a provider is a good fit.
