I offer treatment via telehealth after the initial evaluation due to convenience for the patient, rising gas prices, and lingering fears of Covid.

It seems at though the world is changing at an ever increasing speed and for many, the result is presenting as depression, anxiety, irritability, sleep issues, and especially the ability to focus and concentrate. Many of my patients struggle with feelings of intense loneliness due to losing a significant other, a close friend, living far away from close family members, etc. It is my goal to help my patients feel safe, secure, and hopeful about their future utilizing medication management, alternative techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy. If a patient already has a therapist then I work in collaboration with their therapist (if the patient so chooses) while providing the medication piece.

I have extensive experience in working with ADHD in both children, adolescents, and adults. Roughly 80%-85% of my work for the past 9 years has been with children and adolescents. I also have long-term experience in working with Mood Disorders, Anxiety, Obesity, Binge Eating, Addiction issues, and patients who are eligible for or have undergone Bariatric Surgery. I am a successful Bariatric Surgery Patient myself for the past 10 years. I have conducted in excess of 700 Bariatric Surgical Evaluations and I have never had a bariatric surgeon request a change or addition to the report they submit from me to the Patient's insurance company. I completed my Internship and Post-Doctoral at the Hazelden/Betty Ford Treatment Center over a 25 month period in 2006.
