I see people as unique individuals with potential problems falling along a spectrum of normality. Not every personal struggle or eccentricity is an indicator of a psychiatric abnormality. I pride myself on being a psychotherapist first and a psychopharmacologist second. I prefer to explore personal issues, relationships, and behaviors thoroughly through therapy before resorting to medication. If it becomes apparent that the best next step to ensure the well-being of my patient is to prescribe medication, I do so carefully and conservatively, regularly monitoring my patient’s condition to determine if the dosage can be lowered or eventually discontinued.
I know that personal success is built upon a foundation of positive self-image and self-esteem. I focus on the strengths of my patients and empower them to help themselves succeed. I believe that the best parents are not the ones with the “perfect” child, but rather the parents who understand their child and are able to tailor their parenting style to meet their child’s individual needs and abilities. I look forward to working with parents to develop plans and goals that are the best fit for the temperament and personality of their child to ensure the health and happiness of the entire family.
