Scheduling an appointment to see a psychiatrist is neither an easy nor casual decision. One is often anxious about the process, and perhaps, even doubtful of the results. The path to change can be challenging. But continuing to suffer, to perpetuate patterns of behavior that harm us and lead to unhappiness are no longer acceptable.

In the following pages you will read about my views on medications, psychotherapy, and hopefully, gain perspective on the approach I take to treatment.  I believe that the greatest asset I bring to your care is my understanding of the person as a whole.  Through training as a Physician and my work as a Research Psychiatrist, I have gained an increased understanding and experience in the use of medications. I have also committed myself to additional training in psychotherapy and truly enjoy watching the process of growth that unravels through the use of psychotherapy.
