Feeling better is not enough. Few patients or their doctors recognize the difference between a reduction in symptoms and restoration to full functioning. In my career as a psychiatrist patients who come to me from other doctors are usually only partially improved. Today we’re struggling with an overburdened medical system where limited consideration is given to the patient’s best restoration of functioning. I’ve intentionally kept my practice size limited to be able to devote more time to each person I treat. I started this process in 1987 and continue it to this day. I treat each patient like a family member, with the goal of helping you achieve your best, most fulfilled self. I pride myself on the relationships I’ve built with my patients, many of whom have been with me for 20+ years. I have helped people through all stages of their lives with all the associated ups and downs. I use a combination of psychotherapy and medications, where necessary. I am Board Certified in Psychiatry & Neurology, Addiction Medicine, and Geriatric Psychiatry.
