In a safe space, free of judgement, we can explore the unique capacities, strengths and vulnerabilities of who you are and draw on them as a resource. I will walk alongside you, guiding you through my expertise in medicine and psychotherapy to help you build the life you envision through warmth and care.

Introductory Process
Services
I offer a comprehensive range of psychiatric services for both children and adults. Our practice areas include:
01
Initial Evaluation
Comprehensive diagnostic assessment and full review of histories (medical, family, developmental, educational, psychiatric and psychosocial). We will discuss reason(s) for seeking treatment, review your goals, diagnosis, and whether medication, therapy, or a combination of both is the most appropriate approach for your needs.

Psychotropic medication initiation and monitoring. We will discuss in depth the medications indicated and answer any questions you may have. Certain medications may require blood draw labs. I will work with your PCP or pediatrician, if needed. If medication management only and psychotherapy is through another provider, I will collaborate with them in your care. Frequency of appointments will be determined by clinical need and can vary from weekly to every three months, ensuring personalized care.
