Treatment may include a comprehensive evaluation, thoughtful medication management when appropriate, lifestyle strategies, and collaboration with therapists and families.
My ideal clients are children, teens, and young adults navigating anxiety, mood shifts, emotional outbursts, attention challenges, or life transitions. Parents may feel overwhelmed and unsure where to turn. Young adults may feel stuck or burned out. They want clarity, relief, and direction. Healing isn’t linear, and that’s okay. Together, we create a safe space to build stability, confidence, and hope — grounded in the truth that we were not given a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).

I am interested in your family values and what you hope to see in your home; incorporating these factors along with science and research allows me to tailor a patient/ family-centered pharmacological plan for your child.
You're at work and your phone rings. It's your child's school informing you that your child is having trouble staying on task with their classwork or disrupting the classroom... again. You asked your child to put their toys away for what feels like the 100th time and then out of nowhere comes an explosion of emotions! Sometimes your child seems to be happy one moment and withdrawn and isolated the next. These are just a few examples of the concerns I hear from the parents of children I work with. If you find yourself relating to any of these examples, then I may be able to help you!

FAQ - Family Therapy Psychiatrists
Do psychiatrists provide family therapy?
Some psychiatrists do provide family therapy as part of their practice, but it is less common than individual treatment. While all psychiatrists are trained in psychotherapy during their training, most focus their practice on individual medication management and one-on-one therapy. Family therapy is typically the specialty of licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), and psychologists who have more dedicated training in family systems and group dynamics.
What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a family therapist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MD or DO) who can prescribe medication and provide medical evaluations for mental health conditions, while a family therapist focuses exclusively on therapeutic interventions without the ability to prescribe medication. Family therapists (often licensed as LMFTs or LCSWs) complete master's level training specifically in family systems theory, which examines how family members interact and influence each other's behavior and emotional well-being. Psychiatrists receive medical training that focuses more on the biological, rather than relational, aspects of mental illness.
Do I need an individual psychiatrist or a family psychiatrist?
What kind of mental health clinician is needed depends on the nature of the problem you are facing. Individual psychiatry is better when you have specific psychiatric symptoms (like panic attacks, mood swings, or psychotic symptoms) that require professional diagnosis and potentially medication. Family therapy provided by a psychiatrist, in contrast, may be a good fit when problems manifest in family relationships, such as parent-child conflicts, communication challenges, or adjusting to major family transitions like divorce or grief. In some cases, it may be appropriate to see both an individual and a family psychiatrist if there are individual and relationship-related concerns in a family simultaneously. For example, a teenager with depression might see a psychiatrist for medication and symptom monitoring while the entire family attends therapy together to improve communication and support the teen's recovery.
