disorder (OCD), substance abuse, autism, asperger's disorder, schizophrenia, and more. I also have extensive experience
in clinical trials of new medications for the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders in adults and children. For more

My Background:

Baltimore.

My Services:
I conduct thorough psychiatric assessments to zero in on the problem, educate
my patients about it in straightforward, jargon-free language, and then help them to come up with a treatment
plan that works for them. In my treatment, I combine my expertise in the use of biological treatments (e.g. medications
or light therapy) with my skills in individual and family psychotherapy to provide a comprehensive treatment program
that is tailored to each patient's (and/ or family's) individual needs. Rather than choosing one style of therapy, I believe
in using whatever strategies work to help you resolve your problem(s) as quickly as possible.
