I am skilled in a number of psychotherapies Including psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral psychotherapy, supportive therapy, mindful meditation, and play therapy for children. I customize each treatment using one or more of the aforementioned therapies. Therapy sessions generally last 50 minutes.

I may recommend psychotropic medications for some patients. This is determined during the Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation. I will discuss the risks, benefits, and side effects of any medication I prescribe. I will also review your current medications and over- the-counter supplements to avoid any potential interactions. Once a dosing strategy has been determined patients only receiving medication(s) are required to be seen at least every three months. Medication Management appointments last approximately 30 minutes.

I provide the coordination and execution of treatment plans where a multi-disciplinary treatment approach is the most effective. Some patients may need physical or occupational therapy. Another may require placement in a residential or long-term care facility. I work with many of the best Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and other ancillary staff.  It is impossible to predict how much time is required for this service.

In patients who’s competency is questionable regarding their ability to make informed decisions regarding healthcare and financial matters, I evaluate the patient and render an opinion as to their competency. This report is then used by lawyers to help the court render a decision as to the competency of the individual. These evaluations can last from 90-120 minutes.

I have referral resources to a number of therapeutic treatment modalities including EMDR, hypnotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), deep brain stimulation, and Ketamine used for severe suicidal ideation or treatment-resistant depression.
