Today we are living in a high stress environment. Some of us are facing work layoffs, financial problems, lack of insurance, and increased individual, family and work stress . Mentally and emotionally we are reacting to these stresses. In vulnerable individuals, depression, anxiety disorders and other psychiatric disorders can worsen or be set off by our life circumstances. We ask ourselves how are we going to cope and be more resilient with what we are facing in our life.
In my practice, we address both the psychiatric disorder and life tasks that promote healthy functioning. Medication management and psychotherapy are combined to enhance positive results in your psychiatric care. Your care is individualized to your specific needs.
Psychiatric medications are used to treat depression, bipolar disorders, anxiety disorders, attention deficit disorder and many other mental illnesses. You will learn about your illness more in depth during sessions. With medication treatment, you will learn how the drug works and about frequent and potentially serious side effects.
Self worth, self awareness, accuracy of beliefs, self care, stress management, and problem solving are some of the areas addressed in psychotherapy. The goal of psychotherapy is to help you deal better with life stresses. Both the medication and psychotherapy enhance emotional well being and resiliency to stress.

Visits are priced to be affordable and competitive in the psychiatric community. Acceptable forms of payment are cash, debit and credit cards, and checks.
