Helping Patients

As a psychopharmacologist, trained at Johns Hopkins University, I integrate challenging medication management with mindfulness techniques. I enjoy helping people deal with the challenges of emotional disturbance and guiding patients to achieve optimum wellness. I have been treating children, adolescents, and adults since 1992.

The growth in my practice is a testimony to the caring, compassionate, and personal treatment I have given patients for the past 30 years. My primary goal is to help patients manage their mental health challenges and improve their ability to lead active, engaged, and productive lives. There are many exciting new therapies that have been developed for mental health challenges. In general, the earlier patients begin their treatment the outcome could be more positive. During each stage of your treatment, I work in collaboration with your other healthcare providers.

If you or a loved one is suffering from anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, autism, developmental disabilities, eating disorders, or gender identity disorders, please contact me for a Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation. I believe in integrative medicine for the optimum wellness of the mind, body, and soul.
