Working in psychiatry for the past 18 years, I have extensive experience treating patients for depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADD, and more. I also specialize in LGBTQIA issues. In my way of practicing, I want to get to know you as a person and involve you in any decision-making regarding medications. I am casual and relaxed, but professional. I believe that a conversational interview helps me know you and can reveal things that pertain to your mental health. Through interviewing, evaluation, and lab work we can often find issues regarding your personality or physical health that are affecting your mental health.

My passion is helping people with Depression. I want my patients to feel empowered because their symptoms leave them feeling powerless. One of my most important roles as a psychiatrist is to instill hope for my patients. Depression is treatable, and with TMS therapy along with medication management, we have even more options for patients who struggle.

Tried everything? That's what many individuals with treatment resistant depression feel like. You deserve more. You deserve relief and to live the life you've worked so hard for. You are also not alone among many who have tried numerous medications and had many therapy sessions. It is a frustrating and discouraging process that often leads one to question themselves. Life does not need to continue to feel like this ongoing despondent and endless fight. It's time to finally get some relief and a different perspective. We offer TMS which is an FDA approved treatment for refractory depression. It has great statistics of efficacy too.

I have been treating individuals for over 30 years. My most important aspects of psychiatric care is the initial appointment; taking time to listen to the patient and to get a detailed history in order to formulate a diagnosis, a plan of care, as well as establish a good working relationship.
