Looking forward to working with you. Thank you!

My particular interests and training are in using medications for:

1) Anxiety disorder

2) Bipolar/ mood disorder

3) Depression

4) ADHD

5) Post traumatic stress disorder

With respect to psychotherapy, I use cognitive behavioral technique. This form of counseling has repeatedly been shown to effectively treat any number of psychiatric conditions. I believe that as a provider, I should keep current with the latest developments in my specialty and offer that information to the patient. My approach is not to be the all-knowing expert, rather, I consider myself an advisor to the patient, who after all makes the ultimate decisions about treatment.
