My biggest strength as a clinician is how I interact with patients. In my 20 years of practice, I’ve developed a caring and supportive approach that allows patients to be at ease during sessions. I treat patients with kindness and respect and am truly interested in their stories and feelings. An old-fashioned treatment approach is for the psychiatrist to be neutral and not show emotion towards the patient. I believe this is outdated and can actually cause harm in some patients. In my office you will find a friendly, warm environment.

As a general psychiatrist, I treat most psychiatric syndromes and I have a clinical interest in anxiety disorders, mood disorders (such as depression and bipolar) and ADHD. I provide medication management by itself or in the course of psychotherapy. I also provide medication for patients who already have a therapist. In this situation, the therapist and I coordinate care to make sure we are in agreement and support of the treatment plan. Not only do I provide medication management, but I also provide Insight Oriented Psychotherapy which is a deeper look at patterns of behaviors that are unconsciously driven. I also provide Supportive Psychotherapy for patients who are currently in a crisis.

I am excited by the new frontier of telemedicine. I find there is high patient satisfaction with these types of visits. What would have easily been a 1-2 hour appointment plus commute time now takes 20-30 minutes in the convenience of your own home. Telemedicine provides a new way to connect. I can see you in your own environment, meet your pet and get a glimpse of your surroundings—things that could never happen in an office visit.

I am board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. I received my Medical Degree at Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, Texas. After completing my psychiatric residency at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, I opened a private practice. I have had further training in the Adult Psychotherapy Program of the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, the Beck Cognitive Institute and CREDO at the University of Oxford. I also have specialized training in treating OCD from the International OCD Foundation.
