Medical Doctor

I am a Psychiatrist at our Towson, MD clinic who provides psychiatry services!

Hemingway said that “the world breaks everyone, then some become strong at the broken places“ I believe this is true, and this is how I approach my work with clients: we all have our challenges in life, and yet an inner strength, an inner intelligence and striving to be well exists within each of us which can overcome the challenges. It is a great joy to witness the embrace of those inner strengths and to see others thrive again, and pursue goals and dreams that they had formerly never even considered possible.

As a psychiatrist, I utilize the tools of psychotherapy and psychopharmacology and yet I often remind patients of the enormous benefit from healthy nutrition, hydration, restful sleep, moderate exercise, even from just walking daily, and positive loving relationships. I believe that all of these factors work synergistically.

It takes courage and strength to admit when we need help. Many of us find reasons to avoid getting help such as not wanting to bother others or being more accustomed to being a giver than one who receives attention. I have great admiration for those who have overcome these mental and emotional blocks to seek assistance with whatever is troubling them.
