Welcome!
I am a Board Certified psychiatrist, and have been in private practice in Connecticut since 2002, working with patients aged 18 years and up. I have over twenty years' experience, in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and with people from all over the world and from all walks of life. I obtained my medical degree as well as specialist training in Psychiatry in South Africa, and went on to complete a Fellowship in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry at Yale University, VA Campus, where I was honored with an award for excellence at the end of my Fellowship. I place a high value on keeping up to date with current practice, on careful, thorough assessments of patients, and on thoughtful collaborative associations with my colleagues. This is a list of some of what my current practice consists of:
