“Very attentive and sympathetic which is something that is often lacking with psychiatrists. I felt listened to and genuinely heard throughout. I was talked through the medications she was thinking about for my proposed treatment and why she thought they would be good for me instead of just being flat out told what I would be on without explaining why. Would highly recommend and I’m looking forward to continuing with this provider.”

What should a new client know about working with you?

Treatment plans typically involve medication leveraged with psychotherapy to rework the psychological tendencies which created emotional vulnerability which led, over time, to the acute illness. Psychopharmacology is a useful tool to enable patients to get "unstuck." I view accurate diagnosis as the most important element of treatment because this leads to treatments thta work.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Treatment begins with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation lasting 90 minutes. This is typically adequate time to generate an accurate diagnostic picture to start prescribing medications at the first appointment. Follow-up appointments are usually monthly at first, then can be spread out between longer intervals as patients stabilize on their treatment.
