Who I Serve

I diagnose and treat a wide range of psychiatric conditions, providing both initial assessments

and second opinions on existing diagnoses and treatment plans:

• Mood and Anxiety Disorders: Depressive Disorders, Bipolar Spectrum Disorders, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, and Social Anxiety Disorder.

• Thought Disorders: Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, and Delusional Disorder.

• Trauma and Stress Related Disorders: PTSD, and support for those who have endured traumatic events (including emotional, physical, or sexual abuse).

• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and other compulsive disorders

• Substance Related Issues: Mood, Anxiety, Psychotic, or other psychiatric disorders induced by or associated with alcohol, drugs, or substances.

• Sleep-Wake Disorders: especially when associated with mental health conditions such as insomnia, hypersomnia, and nightmares.

Working with parents, guardians, and school systems, I provide care for:

• Developmental Disorders: Autism Spectrum Disorders, Intellectual Disabilities, Tic Disorders, and developmental or psychogenic Enuresis.

• Behavioral Conditions and ADHD: Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Conduct Disorders, and Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED).

• Other Emotional Regulation and Mood Disorders: Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD), and anger control issues.

I treat individuals whose physical and mental health are deeply intertwined:

• Medical Comorbidities: Mental health issues stemming from physical illnesses.

• Unexplained Symptoms: Individuals with vague physical symptoms or chronic pain where medical workups are negative, or where stress and psychological factors contribute to physical presentations.

Mental health services can help those struggling with the complexities of daily life:

• Interpersonal Issues: Significant conflict or inability to establish working relationships with spouses, parents, children, or romantic partners.

• Identity & Self: Support for those navigating biological gender identity, sexual orientation, or issues with sexual desire and performance.

• Life Stressors: Individuals struggling with everyday stressors that lead to a lack of control over emotions (like anger) or patterns that hinder success in work or education.

I serve as a key partner in your broader healthcare team:

• Therapy Collaboration: For those in therapy who feel their progress is slow or stalled and wish to consider a medication trial alongside their current treatment.

• Professional Referrals: I accept consultations from Primary Care Physicians, Pediatricians, Specialists, and school counselors.

• Cognitive Health: Psychiatric care for older adults with neuro-cognitive disorders, such as Dementia, with or without co-morbidities like depression and anxiety.
