About Me

care philosophy

I listen carefully to my patients to best understand their problems, strengths, and history.  This combined with any appropriate medical considerations leads to diagnosis.  My goal is to collaborate with my patient to arrive at a treatment plan which best suits their needs.

biography

I have been honored to work with patients between the ages of 11-103 for over 40 years to overcome all types of psychiatric challenges.  I love the challenge of helping patients who were treatment resistant.
