Personal Statement

I am a licensed psychiatrist and the owner of Lakes Psychiatric Center. We are an outpatient clinic for all conditions. Many excellent therapists work along side me to provide comprehensive care. I specialize in bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, pain management, and sleep management.

Do your moods get in the way of everyday life? Problems with relationships? Marriage? Can't sleep? Self doubt, experience fears and uncertainty? It can become very confusing for anyone at times. I can help you get back on track. Facing and learning how to cope with life's difficulties can be a real opportunity for growth and personal freedom. You can learn to go forward in life not in the absence of difficulties, "but to go forward, in spite" of difficulties

My theoretical approach is client centered. I integrate various theories in a prescriptive way which best suits your needs, such as; just old fashioned listening, cognitive behavioral, narrative, solution focused, psychoeducation, self directed neuroplasticity, mindfulness, coherence therapy, to name but a few.

I never see my clients as the problem...the symptoms are the real problem. Together, you and I, will strategize many different ways to rid yourself of the debilitating symptoms.
