Bipolar disorder is often a lifelong challenge, but it can be managed successfully, and it does not have to be a barrier to happiness or success. Outside of medication management there is a great deal that the individual can do to institute a healthy routine, monitor symptoms, and compensate for temporary impairments. I can help.

My expertise in Bipolar Disorder is informed by a comprehensive understanding of the disorder’s complexities, including the distinct patterns of mood fluctuations, the challenges in distinguishing it from other mood disorders, and the individualized approaches required for successful management. With experience in assessing and diagnosing Bipolar Disorder, I offer patients a tailored approach that addresses their specific mood cycle patterns—whether Bipolar I or Bipolar II.

There are many types of bipolar disorder and, for this reason, people suffering from types of the disorder that impact fuctioning in more discrete ways are often misdiagnosed. This can lead to ineffective treatment efforts, worsening of symptoms and patients feeling frustrated and hopeless in resolving emotional and behavioral issues that negatively impact their self esteem, functioning and/or relationships. I offer comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and care for all types of bipolar disorder.

I understand that managing bipolar disorder effectively requires a blend of both pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical strategies. While medication can be essential for stabilizing mood swings and managing symptoms, I also emphasize the importance of complementary non-pharmaceutical interventions. This might include psychotherapy, lifestyle adjustments, and coping strategies that address the unique aspects of each person’s experience.

Bipolar disorder is such a difficult, confusing, and isolating illness. Those who suffer from it feel miserably depressed, alternating with boundless energy and ideas, irritability and impulsiveness. At times, you may feel ecstatic and other times, you have no idea why you ever felt that way. I help people make sense of their moods, swings, frantic thoughts, and unravel the mess of symptoms.
