I specialize in diagnostic clarification, advanced psychopharmacology, and existential psychotherapy. Misdiagnosis - and thus, inappropriate treatment - is a major problem in psychiatry. There are several different types of mental health conditions that are rooted in different causes and require different methods of treatment, even if they seem to be leading to the same set of symptoms. My aim is always to achieve clarity in what we’re actually dealing with and then to manage it accordingly, all while keeping one’s individual personhood front and center. I offer one-time second opinions in addition to long-term continuity of care.

Some people struggle with issues that we could best describe as "diseases." Other people struggle with issues that we could best describe as "reactions to life - past, present, or future." Still others struggle with cognitive or temperamental predispositions that are not diseases per se but that have the potential to make life exceedingly difficult.

Over the course of an initial 90 minute evaluation and subsequent 30 minute follow-up sessions, we will work together to try to find answers, and then we will work toward getting you to live the life that you truly want to live. This process may involve labs/studies and medications, psychotherapy and coaching, and/or anything in between.

It is difficult to operate as a psychiatrist trying to do things the right way within the confines of our current healthcare/insurance system. As such, I do not accept insurance, but I would be happy to provide you with a superbill so that you can potentially get reimbursed on your own.
