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% .

After 20 years of working in the mental health field, I have learned that although psychotherapy can be a life changing experience, it is not always enough to adequately manage mental health symptoms. When patients are still experiencing debilitating symptoms of depression, anxiety, impulsiveness, or difficulty with concentration, then psychotropic medications may be beneficial. Medications may bring patients relief from overwhelming worry or panic symptoms, low mood and motivation, and mood swings or irritability.

FAQ - Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Psychiatrists
How can psychiatrist help with obsessive-compulsive disorder?
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by recurring, intrusive thoughts that lead to repetitive behaviors, such as excessive cleaning, hand-washing, checking, counting, or hoarding. These behaviors often serve as temporary relief from distressing thoughts but can quickly become disruptive and time-consuming. OCD commonly begins in late childhood or adolescence and may fluctuate in intensity over time, often influenced by life changes or stress. For many, the condition can interfere with daily functioning, including school, work, relationships, and overall well-being. Seeking psychiatric care can therefore be a valuable step in learning how to manage and reduce the impact of OCD on everyday life.
How do psychiatrists treat OCD?
During appointmnts, psychiatrists typically review a client's symptoms and any current medications to determine an appropriate treatment approach. Psychiatrists who specialize in OCD often use a combination of medication and therapy to support symptom management. The most frequently prescribed medications for OCD are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) which can help reduce the intensity of obsessive thoughts and emotional distress. While not all psychiatrists provide therapy themselves, many collaborate with therapists to support interventions like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a highly effective therapeutic method for treating OCD.
How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in OCD?
The Psychology Today online directory can be a helpful resource to search for psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in OCD. In addition to searching for psychiatrists who specialize in OCD, you may consider searching for psychiatrists who specialize in working with a particular population, such as children, or a certain co-occurring condition, such as anxiety. When searching for a provider, ask about their specific experience treating symptoms of OCD and what their approach to therapy and medication is. It is also important to determine whether their office is accessible (either close-by or via telehealth) and if they accept your insurance.
