Psychiatry


My patients’ life stories, strengths, and concerns are essential in determining treatment. Diagnoses are useful for providing evidence based treatments, but do not provide an understanding of individual needs.

 

I treat psychiatric disorders and psychological difficulties including:

 

ADD/ADHD

 

Adjustment Disorders
Acute issues related to interpersonal difficulties or other sources of stress.

 

Anxiety Disorders
General anxiety, post-traumatic stress, panic, obsessive compulsive behaviors.

 

Life Problems
Psychotherapy can be helpful for weight loss, relationship difficulties, career difficulties, or other life challenges.

 

Mood Disorders
Depression, bipolar affective disorder, post partum depression, dysthymic disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder.

 

Personality Disorders
Chronic issues with identity, self-esteem challenges, work or relationship issues.

 

Psychosomatic Illness
Psychological problems related to medical illness or physical symptoms.

 

Psychotic Disorders
Schizophrenia, delusional disorder, mood disorders with psychotic features.
