THERAPIES EMPLOYED:

Couples Therapy
Medication
Usual patient age range: 15-70
PRACTICE STATEMENT:
To help people when they are troubled, a doctor must be compassionate, have an extensive education, and have a thorough understanding of people.
Confidentiality and respect for personal experience, autonomy, and potential for change and growth are essential.
I am able to provide comprehensive consultations, and offer the broadest range of treatments from brief interventions to psychoanalysis. I am not beholden to the latest fads and gimmicks, and I try to explain to patients the advantages and disadvantages of all pertinent treatment options.
While I have had the honor of treating many doctors, mental health professionals, and their families, I treat people from all walks of life for a widevariety of problems including anxiety, depression, sexual disorders, relationship problems, etc.
As managed care does not allow for the full practice of psychiatry with independence and confidentiality, I do not participate in any managed care programs. When it is necessary, however, I am sometimes able to see a patient at a reduced fee, or help find additional options.
