As a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist with expertise in both medication management and psychotherapy, I can help patients develop a treatment plan that meets their needs. My style is guided by warmth and flexibility, with the goals of helping patients build insight and reduce symptoms.

While medication is useful in some cases, I am dedicated to helping my patients achieve lasting change through therapy as well.
