Why Choose Constellation Psychiatry?

  • Focus on Growing Minds

    Mental health challenges present differently across childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood. I recognize these developmental nuances and can adjust our care accordingly.

  • Board-Certified Physician Expertise

    Many clinicians see patients of all ages but lack specialized training in youth mental health. Board certification signifies that you will receive the highest level of specialized physician expertise in Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatry. The right care makes all the difference.

  • Personalized Whole Person Approach

    True to my roots in osteopathic medicine, I take a holistic approach and believe that effective treatment begins with understanding the whole person. By taking the time to listen and explore, I can better uncover what's really happening with you or your child beyond a simple diagnosis.

  • Collaborative Partnership

    Your voice matters in your care. Whether you're a parent seeking help for your child or a young adult managing your own mental health, I value your insights and preferences at every step.

  • Balanced Approach to Medication

    I understand parent and patient concerns about psychiatric medication. I neither rush to prescribe nor avoid medication when it could help. Instead, I carefully weigh the benefits and risks, start with the lowest effective doses, and monitor closely with your input at every step.

  • Quality over Quantity

    Constellation Psychiatry is intentionally structured as a small practice to provide exceptional care. This approach allows for personalized attention, deeper therapeutic relationships, and a higher quality of service than is possible in larger settings.

  • Cultural Inclusivity

    Every family has its own cultural context, values, and identity. I take time to understand your specific background and incorporate these important elements into treatment, creating a space where all aspects of who you are are respected and valued.

  • Trauma-Informed Care

    Past experiences can significantly shape how we see ourselves and the world around us. I recognize this impact and can help address ways to cope and heal in a safe and supportive environment.
