MEDICAL DOCTOR – OVER 20 YEARS OF EXPERTISE IN ADULT PSYCHIATRY

Congratulations in your taking the first step to seeking help. You’re on your way to a life of wellness! My goal is to inform, educate, encourage, and give you promise and hope. Mental illness is no different from any other bodily illness in that it’s grounded in the brain not functioning properly. The brain and nervous system are subject to medical disorders like any other organ in the body. The stigma once associated with mental illness has greatly diminished.

After graduating from medical school I went on to complete a 4 year residency in adult psychiatry from Washington University. This combined with over 29 years of continuing education and experience enables me to properly diagnose and treat complex and overlapping conditions. I understand that mental health issues are physiological in nature, and grounded in our neuro-chemistry and nervous system. Mental health issues also share a close relationship with inflammation and genetics in addition our body chemistry. There is no reason to be bashful in seeking treatment for these conditions. The travesty is that the vast majority of those who suffer with these conditions don’t seek treatment for 10 years on average, yet the majority of mental health conditions are very treatable.

Today you can live a life of joy, happiness, fulfillment, and purpose, I hope to help restore hope in the lives of those suffering from mental health conditions. I’ve have been in practice since 1997 and I treat adults between the ages of 21-61. I offer optional genetic testing for my patients helping us quickly target the best medications for their condition, based on their genetic profile. I hope you find my website encouraging, informative, and inspires you to take action. Once again, congratulations, and if you are seeking an experienced and compassionate female psychiatrist in Scottsdale Arizona, please call my office at (480) 922-8490 to schedule an initial consultation.
