We treat children, adolescents and adults with behavioral issues, mood disorders, developmental and personality disorders. I work with parents to develop behavioral plans for their homes and families to supplement the therapy done with their children/adolescents in my office.
My graduate training dealt with adolescent male patients with behavioral problems, emotional intelligence deficiencies, sexual abuse history and suicidal gestures and ideations. I see many single parents struggling with their children at home or in school.
I enjoy working with individuals, families, single parents and their children and prefer to "rule out" more than quickly diagnose.

You may recognize some of the jargon here - and some I try to operationalize depending on the treatment plan/goals. OCD is the primary community I see week to week. When possible, I like to incorporate CBT/ERP along with medication. Many times the prescribing MD/NP and I will incorporate a Genesight Psychotropic test and Trans-cranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) when available.
