I am a residency trained psychiatrist. I am also a veteran of the US Army with nine years of active duty service. I have clinical experience working in diverse treatment settings and with a broad range of emotional and behavioral disorders.

Currently, the typical person seeking help from mental health is getting too many medications, too many labels, and not enough time and understanding. Your needs are unique to you and your situation. You require my time and patience to be fully understood. I have experience, but it is of no use to you if I don’t take the time to learn who you are and what your experience is.
