Are you ready to change?
To find the joy in life, the passion in relationships, and true success?
Psychotherapy with an expert psychiatrist can help you find your way.
Psychotherapy is not like a typical medical doctor visit. Instead, it calls for a very active effort on your part. In order for the therapy to be most successful, you will have to work on things talked about both during our sessions and at home.
Psychotherapy has also been shown to have substantial benefits. Therapy often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and significant reductions in feelings of distress.

About me
I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Texas at Dallas with a B.S. in biology. I received my medical education at Southwestern Medical School, part of the University of Texas Health Science Center at Dallas (now UTSouthwestern). After graduation, I was commissioned as a lieutenant in the United States Navy, Department of Medicine and proudly served four years, first at the Naval Hospital San Diego in the capacity of intern in psychiatry and then at the Naval Hospital in Corpus Christi where I received specialized training in aerospace medicine.
After leaving the military, I practiced general medicine for one year prior to beginning specialty training in psychiatry at Timberlawn Psychiatric Hospital in Dallas, Texas. Following three and a half years training at Timberlawn, I started my private practice in the Dallas area in 1993. I am board certified in Psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
The scope of my practice includes comprehensive evaluation and treatment of all emotional disorders of adults.
People often find that therapy with a psychiatrist is different – perhaps because of the depth of training and experience it takes to become one. I’ve had extensive psychoanalytic training, and supervise young psychiatrists as they learn how to do psychotherapy. Doing psychotherapy is a skill and an art, and a wonderful way to help others.
In the presence of a good therapist, you will never feel judged – you will experience being listened to and understood more deeply than ever before.
