I am available to patients who are willing to put their efforts towards recovery. The journey of mental health is collaborative and partnership with your doctor. It truly is, because it requires both the clinician and the patient to work towards this goal. For instance for depression the first requirement is abstain from risk factors like alcohol, loneliness, sedentary lifestyle, poor diets and treating certain general medical conditions.
I strongly emphasize on minimizing use of sedatives like Alprazolam, Clonazepam or sleep aids like Zolpidem etc.
I can help you come off of these meds if you are willing to put your 100% .

My ideal patient is one who is willing and motivated to work together with me, as a team, to help figure out what is contributing to their struggles and how to work through it. It's frequently an iterative process whereby we make progress together over time. Sometimes it seems relatively simple, but frequently it's not. The keys are to keep going, to keep working at it, to never give up, to not shy away from complexity, and to be willing to begin anywhere. The wisdom of knowing when to keep working at solving a problem vs when to work towards acceptance is only achieved through our authentic best efforts over time.

Living with a psychiatric disorder is tough. Ordinary things that should make you happy don’t. Ordinary relationships become difficult. Even if you can see that you’re succeeding, sometimes you just can’t feel it. When you work with me, I’m in there with you: finding positive vision and hope, working week by week with what hurts. I believe that all experiences can be ultimately integrated, and inside that physical machine is a beautiful human being, aching not just to heal, but to blossom into full authentic function.

Do any of these sound like you?
You're carrying more than you can name: a heaviness that won't lift, worry that runs the show, mood swings that leave you unlike yourself, or a mind racing in ten directions. Maybe you've pushed through alone, or sat across from a provider who rushed fifteen minutes and handed you a prescription without asking how you're really doing. You're tired of feeling unseen. You want a provider who sees you as a whole person, not a diagnosis, someone who understands what's underneath the anxiety, depression, bipolar swings, or ADHD making daily life harder than it should be..

Adults living with bipolar disorder (Bipolar I, Bipolar II, or Cyclothymia) who feel stuck in care that doesn't truly understand their condition. They may be cycling through generic psychiatrists, dealing with medication that isn't working, or exhausted from explaining their history to yet another provider. They want specialized, consistent care that treats bipolar as its own thing, not "depression plus." At Sway, we combine precision medication management with evidence-based therapy (IPSRT, CBT, DBT) designed specifically for mood stability. No waitlists, no guesswork, no 15-minute med checks.

FAQ - Psychiatrist Gender
Does it matter what gender a psychiatrist is?
Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, often using a combination of psychotherapy and medication management. While psychiatrists of all genders are equally qualified, the therapeutic relationship is central to effective care, and finding a provider with whom you feel comfortable is an essential part of the process.
What are the advantages of seeing a male psychiatrist?
For some individuals, working with a male psychiatrist may play an important role in building trust and ease within that relationship. Personal, cultural, or past experiences may shape this preference. Some people feel more comfortable discussing certain topics with a male provider, particularly if they’ve had positive experiences confiding in men in other areas of their lives. Others may seek out a male psychiatrist for support with issues that relate specifically to male identity—such as navigating societal expectations around masculinity, fatherhood, or addressing emotional expression in environments where vulnerability may be discouraged.
How to find a male psychiatrist
Psychology Today’s online directory allows users to search for psychiatrists by gender, making it easy to find male psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs). Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approach, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. These details can help you evaluate whether a provider is a good fit for your needs.
