ADHD Specialist
I have a specific interest and passion for treating children, adolescents, and adults who have suffered from ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). I've treated hundreds if not thousands of patients by now. I have successfully completely an intensive Certified ADHD Professional Clinical Provider course. There has been a stigma in treating this issue and it is hard to find help, but I am looking to break the mold and provide treatment to as many people as possible.
Child Psychiatrist
This past year has put a specific emphasis on mental health in the child and adolescent population. I know how high the demand can be for help and the outpatient supply is very low. I hope I can make a difference in the life of a young person struggling out there. Being a father, I want everyone to be happy and healthy. I have specific interests in managing behaviors that arise from autism spectrum disorders and helping teenagers feel safe and secure and they become young adults.
Adult Psychiatrist
There are many conditions that were swept under the rug when many adults were once children themselves. I hope now that the stigma surrounding mental health is finally subsiding, more people can seek the help they have been missing for years. I can assist in any stage of life, with almost any psychiatric issue that exists. My goal is to maximize your functioning so you can live life to its fullest potential, in peace and happiness.
