Welcome to my practice

Choosing a psychiatrist can be difficult.  In an effort to assist you with your search, I will provide some information about my practice and my treatment philosophy so that you can assess whether my style may be a good fit for you.

I believe that the most important element in psychiatric treatment is a good match between patient and psychiatrist.  It is essential that you feel heard and understood.  I approach treatment as a collaboration in which we are part of a team working toward the common goal of helping you to feel better and to function more effectively in your life.  

I work under the premise that psychiatric symptoms are only able to be labeled as such when the context of a person's life is taken into account.  Life is complicated!  It can be difficult to determine what is a symptom and what is a normal reaction to a challenging situation.  That is one of the most important aspects of our work together.
