A Structured, Data-Driven Approach to Mental Health

About Me
I am a psychiatrist with over 40 years of clinical experience.
In my work, I combine evidence-based psychopharmacology with a broader, systems-based understanding of mental health, informed by functional medicine and neuromodulation.
My goal is not only to address symptoms, but to understand the underlying patterns that shape how each individual functions.

How the Process Works
Work begins with a brief introductory consultation to determine whether this approach is appropriate for you.
The process is structured, but always adapted to the individual.
Initial Consultation
A focused discussion to understand your concerns, history, and goals
Assessment & Analysis
A comprehensive evaluation, which may include clinical, cognitive, and brain-based assessment
Individualized Plan
Development of a targeted, data-informed strategy tailored to your needs
Ongoing Care & Adjustment
Regular follow-up to monitor progress and refine the plan over time
Results / Outcomes
The goal of this work is to improve how the brain functions across key domains, including:
- mood and emotional stability
- sleep and recovery
- mental clarity and focus
- stress regulation and resilience
- motivation and organization
As underlying patterns become more stable, many patients experience meaningful improvement in symptoms such as anxiety, depression, mood variability, and difficulties with concentration or sleep.
For children and adolescents with ADHD or autism spectrum profiles, the focus is on supporting improvements in attention, regulation, communication, and overall functioning.
The extent and pace of change vary by individual, but the process is designed to move beyond short-term symptom relief toward more sustained improvements over time.
