I work with adults who feel overwhelmed with symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, mood disorders / depression, or stuck—often high-functioning but struggling internally. Many are dealing with stress, burnout, life transitions, or ongoing emotional challenges and want clarity and relief. I provide a thoughtful, collaborative approach tailored to each person. Through careful evaluation and, when appropriate, medication management, I help clients improve mood, reduce anxiety, and regain balance so they can move forward with confidence.

Psychiatrist, MD, MA
Norristown, PA 19401
I am a functional psychiatrist provides an enhanced way to treat psychiatric conditions and care for the whole-person, not just their symptoms. My current positions are medical director in several inpatient and outpatient programs. Conventional psychiatry relies heavily upon pharmaceuticals to reduce or mask the symptoms of mental illness. It assumes nearly every illness is due to a neurotransmitter imbalance, and that medication will alleviate symptoms. However, there are far more factors that influence mental health than just neurotransmitters. Functional medicine can find the causes of your symptoms through special tests.

Are you feeling empty or frustrated in your daily life? Your work is good, or good enough, but stressful or unfulfilling. Or you want your child to be happy and healthy, not sad or anxious, losing friends or their grades falling, instead more confident in social and academic situations. Or both. Despite your best efforts so far, nothing seems to work. You may feel powerless-but you already have all the tools you need to help yourself, or your child. You're the most important person in their lives (and your own), so I make sure you’re getting support and validation you need at home, at work, and/or in your child’s school system.

Yardley, PA 19067
In envisioning my ideal client, I see someone who is grappling with various challenges that affect their overall functioning and well-being. They may be experiencing symptoms of ADHD, leading to difficulties in maintaining focus and organization in their daily lives. Anxiety often clouds their thoughts, manifesting in overwhelming worries and a sense of restlessness, while depression may have seeped into their outlook on life, sapping their motivation and joy. This client likely struggles with self-esteem issues, feeling inadequate or unworthy, which can be compounded by stress from various sources.

FAQ - About Teenage Psychiatry
What does an adolescent psychiatrist do?
Adolescent psychiatrists specialize in the mental health care of pre-teens and teens. Unlike general child psychiatrists who may treat anyone under 18 years old, adolescent psychiatrists often concentrate on youth ages 12 to 18 and are well-versed in the social, cognitive, and emotional issues that specifically affect teenagers. They focus on the unique challenges that arise during these years, such as academic pressure, social and peer dynamics, identity development, family conflict, and increasing emotional and behavioral expectations. In addition, adolescence is often the time when mood disorders, anxiety, eating disorders, or substance use concerns first emerge or intensify.

Psychiatrists who work with teens are trained to address these issues and often use a combination of talk therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, and, when indicated, medication to treat these specific conditions. Psychiatrists with expertise in this area are also skilled at engaging teenagers in the therapeutic process and may have particular expertise in balancing the involvement of the teen's family in treatment in a way that balances the teen’s needs and growing independence. They also frequently coordinate care with schools, therapists, and other providers to ensure teens receive well-rounded support.

How to find a psychiatrist for teens?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows users to search for psychiatrists by age-focus, making it easy to find psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who work with teens. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approach, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. These details can help you evaluate whether a psychiatrist aligns with your teen's needs and is a good fit.
