  • Psychiatrists

Hello and welcome!

If you are looking for a psychiatrist-- or, perhaps, looking to switch from the psychiatrist you are currently seeing-- the chances are good that you have been asking yourself some difficult questions. For example, you may be asking yourself:

* Do I really "need" to take psychiatric medications? Are there any other strategies available for managing my symptoms and reaching my goals?
* If I decide to take psychiatric medications, which ones should I take (and what should the dosage be)? How risky are these medications? For how long will I need to take them?
* Am I on too many medications? How many medications are "too many"?
* Should I be seeing a talk therapist? If so, what kind?
* Are there any lifestyle changes that might help me to feel better?
* What about all of these "alternative medicine" treatments that I've read about? Do they work? Are they safe?
* What should I know about newer FDA-approved treatments such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and ketamine (Spravato)?

My goal as a psychiatrist is to help you find answers to these questions. I am not here to "dictate" a course of treatment, but instead to advise you of a range of possible treatment approaches, describing the benefits and risks of each one.

I strive to do this in manner that is clear, detailed, easily understood, and-- most important of all-- unbiased. I do not accept "speaking fees", free steak dinners, or other forms of payment from drug companies.
