GROWING UP STRONG

I have nearly 20 years of experience treating children, teens and young adults with psychiatric disorders. I take time to gather information about the larger picture of someone's life and symptoms. I stay in close touch with patients and families working as team with them. I will take time to celebrate your child's strengths and abilities. I will take time to gather more information if a treatment decision is delicate. I am well suited to families who prefer a careful thoughtful decision making process. I believe that the trust that is invaluable to working with a psychiatric provider takes time to build. I work well with families who ask a lot of questions, have fear about using medication or never thought they would consider medication for their child...
