She has no care or concern about her patients. She should not be a mental health care provider. She only cares about money and not her patients. I strongly discourage anyone from going to see her.

I have seen this woman 3 times after my reg psych left the practice. Since day 1 she negates my experiences, wont own her mistakes, and is very combative. I feel like she completely disagrees with all 30 years of my past psych experiences, extensive testing, diagnoses and prescriptions. I leave her office in tears every time as she always manages to trigger me and shows zero empathy or support for her cruelty. I just now read that her specialty is in psychosomatic disease so I feel she thinks all mental illness is self created. I would not recommend her to anyone looking for a doctor who cares about their patients. She looks more at her computer than she does me and is always trying to force medications on me that are expensive, tried before with zero or worse results and refuses to discuss the medications I was previously prescribed that work. As another reviewer stated, she is indeed Dr. Stubborn.
