As your psychiatrist, I work hard to understand the history and circumstances that have led you to seek help. Accurate diagnosis is important, but many issues we face are not captured by diagnosis alone. I aim to create a treatment plan that suits your unique needs. Using psychotherapy and medication, I treat mood disorders (such as depression or bipolar), anxiety disorders, attention-deficit disorder/attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder, personality disorders, trauma-related disorders, sleep disorders, and psychotic illnesses. My approach is inviting and curious, and I value humor and candor in a therapeutic relationship.
