Practice

        I utilize a child-centered and family focused approach to treat the spectrum of emotional and social conditions that challenge families.  I provide play therapy for young children (in the context of ongoing family meetings or family therapy), psychotherapy for children & adolescents, psychotherapy for adults & couples, and medications for my patients.  I work collaboratively with the child and family (and the school for school aged children).  Seeking to facilitate the optimal well-being of my patients, I follow a holistic model that seeks to integrate the physical and spiritual needs, in addition to the emotional and social needs, of my patients.

        It can be difficult for a family to call a psychiatrist for help.  I will make the evaluation and treatment process as comfortable as possible.  We will work together as we thoughtfully explore the presenting problem before selecting the most appropriate, state of the art treatment plan available from contemporary psychiatry.
