I am Board Certified in Child, Adolescent and Adult Psychiatry. I have more than 20 years of experience treating ADHD, anxiety and mood issues. In working with youth, I strive to support the parents to draw on their innate strengths as experts in their children's functioning. Life brings transitions that may not play out neatly, but with collaboration, difficult times can become opportunities for growth. Medication may or may not play a role in treatment. Various treatment modalities will be explored.

I practice holistic, integrative child, adolescent and adult psychiatry with the focus on finding and treating the underlying cause of each person's emotional and behavioral problems, often with natural methods rather than medications.
