We offer assessment, therapy and mental health medication management in an accepting, supportive care setting.We prioritize seeing you as soon as possible
I am a board-certified pediatrician with over 30 years caring for patients from infancy through young adulthood. I am now narrowing my interests and will provide medication assessment and management for adolescents and young adults with concerns of depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I have significant experience in these areas from earlier practice. Therapy is an important component of the treatment for anxiety and depression and I am excited to be working in partnership with Dr. Scharlau.
