About My Clients

I enjoy clients who want to feel better. Children and adults can benefit from integrated medical and psychiatric plans of care including weight and overall health management. I enjoy helping each client be their best. I offer treatment plans for healthy parenting, relationships, pediatric developmental assessments, diagnosis and treatment of anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, bipolar disorder, childhood neurodevelopmental and behavior disorders, and schizophrenia, among others.

My Background and Approach

Being a quadruple board certified clinician with experience in pediatrics, family medicine, emergency trauma care, and psychiatry helps me address the needs of the whole client. The earlier treatment is sought for any illness, the better the outcome for most. I use preventive care approaches as well and incorporate a full psychiatric and medical evaluation up front for each client. I am careful to listen, observe, and use the lowest, safest effective dose of medication when drug therapy is needed.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that every person deserves respect and confidentiality in their care. I strive to always be professional and kind in caring for my clients. I will make sure to include the client and family (where appropriate and with client permission) in creating the treatment plan. I will provide education so the client can make the most informed decision about treatment.
