Summary

My philosophy is to do the right thing for the patient at this moment in time. I went into medicine because it is the best way for me to fulfill my lifes goals. I have more than 20 years of experience in the practice of medicine, and am board certified in adult psychiatry. , I have had the pleasure of being elevated to the status of Distinguished Fellow with the American Psychiatric Association. My practice provides psychiatric evaluation, treatment and medication management for thought, mood and anxiety disorders, as well as substance abuse issues. I enjoy providing psychotherapy because it allows me the opportunity to continue to grow with in a way that I might not if I limited my services to medication management. I enjoy the depth and breadth of the psychotherapeutic experience. I work with clients who suffer from the full gamut of issues, including grief, trauma from combat, work-related stress, childhood abuse, sexual assault and crime-related trauma.
