Currently accepting new clients! Please reach out any time. Many people suffer with their mental health and often suffer needlessly. I have been a psychiatrist since 2001 and have experience with many types of people, ages 18-118. I think it's important to take a "life story" approach to get a sense of someone's needs and to be able to develop an effective treatment plan, often in coordination with therapists, primary care providers, and specialists.

My experience in hospital medicine gave me a more in-depth understanding of some of my specialties, including dementia with agitation, treatment resistant depression with suicidal ideation, depression/anxiety with a major medical diagnosis, and addiction/ withdrawal.
My first specialty was hospital medicine, before moving into psychiatry. I worked with acute illness and exacerbation of chronic illness. I noticed that, too often, mental health complaints and their impact on health and wellness were overlooked. People were unable to adequately manage their chronic health conditions because they were too depressed, anxious, or otherwise struggling with psychological distress. This seemed to overshadow everything else. Mental health determined how they responded to treatments, their compliance with therapies, and could make symptoms much worse.

FAQ - Alzheimer's and Dementia Psychiatrists
How can psychiatrists help with Alzheimer's disease?
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurological condition characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and diminished decision-making capacity, most commonly affecting older adults. While some degree of memory loss can be part of the normal aging process, more significant symptoms—such as difficulty with familiar tasks, confusion about time or place, and noticeable changes in mood or personality—may indicate the presence of Alzheimer's disease and warrant evaluation by a medical professional, such as a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists who specialize in Alzheimer's are knowledgeable about the disease's complexities and its impact on both individuals and families, and they are often well-equipped to support those living with Alzheimer's, as well as their caregivers, by helping them navigate the emotional, behavioral, and psychological challenges that can emerge as the condition progresses.
What does psychiatric treatment for Alzheimer's involve?
Psychiatric treatment for Alzheimer's typically begins with a neuropsychiatric assessment to evaluate an individual's current cognitive functioning and mark changes over time. This assessment helps confirm a formal diagnosis and guides the development of a personalized treatment plan. Treatment then often includes a combination of psychotherapy and medication, tailored to the severity and nature of the individual's symptoms. Psychiatric medications may be used to reduce distressing symptoms, stabilize mood, or address behavioral disturbances. Given that Alzheimer's disease affects multiple domains of functioning and evolves through distinct stages, psychiatrists often work as part of a care team, which may also include primary care physicians, neurologists, geriatricians, occupational therapists, social workers, and other specialists. In many cases, psychiatrists also actively involve family members and caregivers in the treatment process.
How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in Alzheimer's disease?
The Psychology Today online directory is a valuable resource for finding psychiatrists who specialize in working with older adults and individuals with Alzheimer's disease. The platform offers search filters to narrow results based on specialty areas such as Alzheimer's disease and related conditions, such as dementia. Provider profiles offer detailed information on therapeutic approach, professional credentials, accepted insurance, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing this information can help individuals, families, and caregivers identify providers who best align with their specific needs—whether they're seeking support after a recent diagnosis or ongoing care throughout the disease's progression.
