I have helped many people of all ages who frequently feel anxious, worry about the future, doubt themselves and react to what people say to them. They have had difficult things happen to them that have led to significant levels of stress with frequent and automatic stress responses that are very hard to stop. I prescribe medication and stress management therapy to help. I also have helped many people who are depressed and have had treatment and yet they still are depressed. I have helped others who have lived for years with treatable stresses but have not had their stress reactions accurately assessed and treated.
I am a board certified child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist with over 30 years experience helping people. My clinical and research skills have been recognized by my being designated as a Distinguished Fellow of both the American Psychiatric Association and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. I have helped all ages.
I believe I am successful because I listen without judging or reacting and can accurately assess what the difficulties are and how to begin the treatment process. If it is indicated I will prescribe medications. I will also engage with the person and help motivate them to make positive changes in their lives and to believe in themselves.

By carefully listening, I help people to identify areas of anxiety and depression and stress in their lives. We then formulate a plan to reduce stress and improve their quality of life. This plan can involve medications, stress management skills and reinforcement of positive feelings about themselves.
