interactive respectful scientific evidence-based

I specialize in working with people who:

are genuinely are working to manage their psychiatric conditions through a combination of medication, therapy, environment and lifestyle. My special clinical interests include ADHD, Mood Disorders including Depression and Bipolar, and Anxiety.

I became a therapist because:

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

Although I am licensed to do therapy, I choose to focus on psychopharmacology (aka medications) and health with supportive therapy.
