“I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist. I provide psychiatric services including medication and psychotherapy for adults, teens, and children. My goal is to practice psychiatry as it should be: unrushed, private, and based on the most current understandings of the mind and the brain. I provide medication, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and couples therapy. My ideal patient is someone who wants to understand more about how his/her mind works, who wants an active role in the treatment process. I also have the DEA Waiver for Suboxone and have a separate practice devoted to the huge local problem of pain pill addiction.
Many psychiatrists see four or more patients per hour, leaving no time for patients to get settled, let alone talk about how they are feeling. Patients feel like guinea pigs as they try medication after medication. More time together allows for a more thorough understanding of a patient's condition.
My appointments are twice as long as those of other area psychiatrists, so that we have time to talk about all of your concerns. More time together allows us to get things right the first time. My patients don't just go to a psychiatrist; they HAVE a psychiatrist.”
