"I strongly believe the only thing that separates me from those I treat is that I was dealt a different set of cards. If I were in your shoes, I hope I would have the same fortitude to seek help when things were beyond what I knew how to control. I have yet to meet a patient who I believe is "faulty" for his or her condition. My goal is to help my patients and families take charge and use their strengths to change and adapt in ways that make sense to improve their lives."

"**I am now taking patients again, on a case by case basis.** It is always not possible to "snap yourself out of it" or simply "try harder" to change how you think or feel about things.

When I prescribe medication, it is always with the intent to reduce problematic symptoms so that you can more effectively use your strengths and talents to manage your life and be the person you are meant to be."
