To others, your teen or young adult appears to have it all. They are bright, accomplished, and successful. But beneath the surface they are stymied by anxiety that affects their schoolwork and relationships. Perhaps they struggle with focus or sleeping, seem angry or stressed, or avoid tasks or situations. They may worry about college acceptance or falling short of having the career and life they envision. Often they feel burdened by the weight of effort or achievements that they perceive as never good enough. They’re ready to make a change - they want to feel relaxed and confident again.

It is my belief that everyone has suffered from a mood disturbance at one time in their life. What makes for different diagnosis is the intensity of the mood change and the duration. I believe we fuel our mood by our own cognitions and unhealthy habits and coping skills. My style is extremely interactive and direct, insuring results early on in the treatment process. When possible, I try treatment without medications, however there are chemical imbalances which must be treated via a Psychiatrist (for medications) and a psychotherapist for the psychoeducational piece,(talk therapy).I maintain relationships with area psychiatrists.
