My practice is limited to psychopharmacological treatment for adults only in the areas shown below.

To learn more about how I approach treatment, please see ‘My Approach.’

I will ask you questions to develop a thorough understanding of the problem that brought you to treatment. Based on these findings I will suggest a personalized treatment plan and discuss it with you.

• • • My practice is limited to psychopharmacological treatment for adults only. Initially I do a complete psychiatric interview that includes a history of the present illness, past psychiatric history, and a complete family and developmental history.
    • If indicated I will prescribe the appropriate medication(s). Medications are essential for many people to rebalance neurochemistry which can result in a significant decrease in the symptoms of an illness, thereby allowing a richer quality of life.
    • I monitor the efficacy of and the appropriate dosing of each medication and I will make any necessary changes.
    • If you have a psychotherapist then I contact him/her after each office visit.
    • I monitor the effect of any co-existing medical condition on the psychiatric disorder and vice versa.
    • I consult with other physicians when indicated and I monitor for the continued need for medication on an ongoing basis.
    • I strive to make every client feel comfortable and not judged. I do not pressure clients to talk about anything about which they do not wish to talk about.
