About
I have been a general adult psychiatrist for 30 years, practicing at the interface of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy as an in-depth generalist. I offer an integrated model of psychiatric and psychological treatment, emphasizing mind/body interface. My modal patient has one or more psychiatric diagnoses and has failed one or more trials of psychiatric medication in a split treatment model (in which the primary care physician or the psychiatrist has prescribed while a psychologist or MFT has overseen therapy). There was usually little to no collaboration among those two treatment providers. I believe that treatment outcome is optimized with a strong physician/patient alliance.
I approach each patient as a collaborator in both biological and psychological treatment. I carefully listen to my patients and consider feedback. I help patients see options and find solutions to real life problems. I change my approach if it is not helping or if new information emerges that indicates a change in treatment strategy.
I am a guide to possibilities; not an arbitrator of how patients should live. Therapy is nonjudgmental. It involves acceptance and understanding of how each patient came to be who they are. I have keen knowledge of medication's capabilities, personality/psychology, and how the mind can facilitate or block medication's effects.
