About

Our shared humanity is the foundation of the doctor-patient relationship

This is a physician-led, self-pay private practice. I do not participate with insurance plans, which allows for longer appointments, personalized care, and increased privacy. About Psychiatric Care A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who has completed medical school and specialty training in psychiatry. This allows for comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, medical decision-making, and medication management within the context of mental health care.
