Psychotherapy & Medication Management

My psychiatric practice includes psychotherapy and, when indicated, medication management.

As a psychiatrist, I am trained to assess emotional concerns from both psychological and medical perspectives. Rather than separating these aspects of care, I consider them together when working collaboratively with each patient.

I believe it is important that you feel comfortable with and trust your psychiatrist. Sometimes you can recognize that fit during the first session; at other times, it may take several sessions.

If we decide to work together, we will do so collaboratively. With your written consent, I can also communicate with your other physicians, previous mental health professionals, and/or members of your personal support system to help ensure a safe treatment approach.
