4worldlovers: I've devoted my career to the passionate pursuit of the most effective means of healing the mind/brain/spirit.

I’m proud to offer approaches rarely found to help you find freedom and well-being

Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers an open, compassionate space to encounter and heal our most wounded parts; relieving painful burdens long carried but little understood. The result is inner transformation.

IFS is useful for most mental health problems. It can shed light and offer hope to the parts that cause problems in our relationships. It also holds great promise for exploring complex aspects of ourselves and our identities.

KAP (Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy) is usually a brief treatment for painful obstacles (often depression and traumatic experiences). Our clever minds evolved to help us avoid pain which is great except when our painful experiences cause us problems in living.

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy safely allows us to visit these painful areas and heal the burdens of traumatic experiences in a secure therapeutic relationship.

Neurofeedback takes advantage of this to train the brain to regulate itself. It provides feedback from brain network monitoring to allow you to hone your brain’s performance.

Think of the brain as an orchestra that must have all parts working in harmony to make beautiful music.

Whether you're interested in improving academic/athletic performance, improving function in Depression, ADHD, anxiety and Autism Spectrum, or other neuropsychiatric conditions (supporting recovery after concussion, neurosurgery, or improving tremors)

Holistic: Integrating biological markers with developmental, psychological, social, and spiritual perspectives to personalize care.

4worldlovers: My purpose as a medical doctor specializing in treating ADD and ADHD is to help relieve patient’s symptoms and to give them an overall sense of well-being and better functioning in the world. Assessment of ADD and ADHD is a key element in understanding each patient’s individual symptoms and how they disrupt the patient’s functioning in three main areas of life – work, school and relationships. We work together to increase a sense of mastery in life and help them attain increased self-esteem that comes from their improved ability to function in the world.

I have been in practice for 30 years, specializing in treating Adult ADD and ADHD for 22 years. I have extensive experience in diagnosing and treating Adult Attention Deficit Disorder, Depression, Bipolar Disorder and Anxiety Disorders. I am always focused on treating the whole patient, a holistic approach. I spend a generous hour and a half for the initial evaluation, which all good psychiatrists do. It takes time to really get to know someone, to trace their symptoms back to childhood whether it is depression, anxiety, ADHD or ADD, and to know the current stressors in their life, (jobs, school, relationships). In order to provide the most effective treatment, I explore the patients’ family history in depth and all the medications the person has been on in the past including the side effects and benefits of each. Finally, we need to rule in or rule out other psychiatric or medical diagnoses.
