I specialize in child and adolescent psychiatry but see patients of all ages for evaluation and treatment.
My patients value in-person care outside the now discredited US medical institution, from a doctor whose goal is to guide them toward health, with or without prescription drugs. They are looking for a doctor who is not beholden to any corporate interest and still follows real science and not propaganda. They want the government out of the doctor-patient relationship. They want a mask-free environment. They want the truth. They want to think for themselves. www.dissidentmd.com.

I’ll work closely with you and your child, providing steady support as we navigate challenges together and find a way forward that honors who they are.
Parenting a struggling child can feel overwhelming. Is their anxiety driving success, or has it become a burden? Is trouble focusing just a phase, or a sign of something deeper? My role isn’t to change what makes your child unique but to help them harness their strengths and heal from what’s holding them back.
