Biography
I take an individual approach to treating others, recognizing individuals as unique and worthy of love, respect, and acceptance. I am compassionate, non-judgmental, and truly enjoy helping others. I tend to gravitate towards a combination of medication management (if indicated) and psychotherapy where I treat all facets of the individual. I believe that we are all unique and should be treated as such.
Over the past 30 years I have created a successful career as a psychiatrist, participating in a variety of treatment settings and developing a wealth of experience in prescribing medications, providing therapy, counseling, and even coaching. I spent most of my career in private practice until deciding to retire in 2014. After this I spent the next 3 1/2 years reading, studying, traveling, and spending time with my loved ones. In 2018 I was offered a position as a consultant overseeing Ketamine infusion therapy for treating treatment-resistant depression. When the pandemic hit in March of 2020, I was asked to assist a local psychiatric hospital deal with the unique and often deadly consequences of the virus. This proved to be a wonderful opportunity for personal growth and to improve the quality of life of many others. After working at the hospital for 2 years, I joined Talkiatry to continue providing high-quality psychiatric care to others in a very loving, supportive, creative, and collaborative environment.
