Child, adolescent, & adult psychiatrist
“I strive to bring a harmonious balance to traditional psychiatry, solid psycho-therapeutic techniques, and modern medical intervention in the way I practice medicine and engage with my patients. I would like to be in a position to offer an integrated and empirically-based, yet artful approach to our understanding and treatment of mental and emotional struggles. Utilizing current technology diagnostically and therapeutically provides us with yet another piece of the puzzle in helping to decipher the mystery of our patients’ troubles.”
