I am a Board-certified in Child/ Adolescent Psychiatry and Adult Psychiatry with thirty-plus years of clinical experience. I offer a comprehensive treatment approach that includes diagnostic evaluation, talk therapy (integrating insight-oriented psychotherapy with cognitive therapy) and medication, when appropriate. I do not typically accept new referrals solely for medication management. I believe strongly that therapy together with judicious use of medication, overseen by a consistent provider, allows for an effective intervention for my clients, ages 16 and up.

You want to take care of your mental health, but a one-size-fits-all system isn't working for you. You'd like a more flexible and creative approach and a highly personalized treatment plan. You're looking for a provider that is approachable, available, and attentive. The relationship between a provider and a client is everything in mental health treatment. I founded Newbury Street Psychiatry and Psychotherapy to provide patients with treatment relationships that are open, collaborative, and all about you.
