As a psychiatrist I have extensive training and experience in the use of psychiatric medications. When used thoughtfully and according to the latest research, these medications can be useful in reducing troubling symptoms and improving quality of life. I aim to prescribe in collaboration with my patients, mindful of possible side effects and personal preferences. I am able to offer medication assisted treatments for addiction in a discreet, confidential setting.

The most effective approach to depression, anxiety and substance use usually includes additional interventions besides medication. I provide evidence based psychotherapy which focuses on modifying patterns of thought, feeling and behavior to achieve measurable results. I have additional expertise in lifestyle interventions including diet, exercise, phototherapy, and nutritional supplementation.

After an evaluation, we can decide together which combination of the above modalities, alone or in combination, is most appropriate for you.
