I usually see patients relatively short term. I'm 77 and not sure how long I will keep practicing. Many patients can get medications prescribed by their PCP after having a consultation or brief treatment with me and I am happy to consult with your PCP. If someone wants longer term psychiatric care I will work with you on finding that. I am especially interested in treating anxiety and ADHD, tho recently I have been trying to use non-controlled medicines for the latter due to difficulty obtaining stimulants and reluctance of primary care providers to prescribe them. I like doing behavior therapy for phobias and OCD.

I treat psychiatric illness by listening to one's life story. Individuals are a harmony of thoughts and feelings; mind and body. Medications are sometimes necessary to help a person manage their day to day life but they are not sufficient. I prescribe medication if necessary and provide therapies that are suited to the individual patient. The focus is primarily on lifestyle therapy and daily practice. Lifestyle medicine includes diet, exercise, meditation, and stress reduction along with cognitive therapy. I know that with the right support, knowledge and practice a person can experience joy, continue to grow and love.
