I believe that attaining mental health should be a collaborative process between the child/adolescent, their family, and the clinician. The basis for any successful treatment is a strong and trusting therapeutic alliance or relationship. Together, we will understand your child’s particular strengths and needs and then determine and review the best treatment options available.

When someone seeks treatment from a psychiatrist they are usually suffering in some way. Anxiety, depression, conflict, psychological pain or confusion are some hallmarks of what brings someone to treatment. Part of the human experience for many people is not feeling understood. Psychiatric treatment begins with a full understanding of the patient, their history, their thoughts, their fantasies, their conflicts, their hopes and dreams. After this diagnostic phase we enter a mutually agreed-upon treatment approach, whether psychotherapy or medication, or both.
