As a clinician who is board certified both in psychiatry and geriatric psychiatry, I practice in the mainstream of American psychiatry, striving to be compassionate, thorough and collaborative in my work. I enjoy working with adults of all ages—as individuals, couples and families—and have a particular interest in working with older adults.
