Hello and welcome!
I would first like to clarify my specialty, so that there are no misunderstandings.........
Unlike Sigmund Freud, I am
not
a psychiatrist!
I am a
pediatrician
who has discovered a strong passion and skill in evaluating, diagnosing, and the medication management of a large variety of
pediatric mental health
conditions. With an increase in pediatric mental health conditions post-COVID and the changes in primary care that have resulted in many primary care providers being forced to limit the time of each appointment, there is an increasing demand, yet often a shortage of, child-adolescent psychiatrists. This is a nationwide problem that is worse in smaller towns and less populated states. It is my hope that my newfound passion will serve to lessen this gap in providing
mental health diagnosis and medication treatment for kids and teens
in
San Antonio, TX and surrounding areas.
I accept pediatric patients from
ages 3-18 years old
(the
first
appointment
including the patient
must occur before their 18th birthday, and they may continue until age 21yo)
Some
examples of the conditions that I can evaluate, diagnose, and treat include:
ADHD
Depression
Generalized Anxiety Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Social & Separation Anxiety Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)
Panic Disorder Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Aggression Bipolar Disorder I & II
Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD)
Tic Disorders & Tourette's Syndrome
Habit (Picking) Disorders
