I am board certified in general adult and forensic psychiatry. I treat a range of conditions including Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and PTSD, amongst others. I utilize a multi-modal approach including medication and psychotherapy. I also utilize Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation TMS to treat severe depression that does not improve with medication or psychotherapy.
My approach to treating all neuropsychiatric conditions is to perform a fully individualized assessment to determine whether medication, psychotherapy, a combination of both, or newer technological treatments such as TMS is the ideal treatment for a particular person. Each individual is different and I try to remain aware of this in my interactions with all of my patients.
The state of psychiatric treatment is constantly evolving. New medical and psychological insights are being achieved on a nearly daily basis. It is both fascinating and encouraging to see such progress. I believe that staying informed of the latest research in psychiatry, neuroscience, and technological interventions is essential to providing the highest quality treatment for my patients.
It is also an essential part of my treatment philosophy that each person has and deserves autonomy regarding treatment decisions. My job is to provide the best recommendations based on scientific evidence while working within the parameters of what an individual desires his or her type of treatment to entail. The doctor-patient relationship in psychiatry is a unique one and requires a fully collaborative approach to be successful.
