My Medical Career
I have been practicing medicine for almost 30 years. My journey began after my acceptance to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, and my growth as a physician continues to this very day.
While I am a board-certified Adult Psychiatrist, I have sub-specialized in both Child and Adolescent psychiatry. I’ve had the privilege to be trained at some of the top programs in the country, including the prestigious Harvard Medical School and UT Southwestern.

The “Family Man”
As a husband and a father of three amazing sons and one beautiful daughter, I have devoted my life to providing for them emotionally, physically, and spiritually. My passions include sports (Go Irish!), traveling to unique places, and living a healthy lifestyle.
My father instilled in me the belief that life is about collecting relationships and memories rather than material things, so I am always mindful of the belief that life is more about embracing the journey and not simply focusing on the destination.

My Practice Philosophy
My goal coming out of Residency was to develop a practice where I would be able to provide the highest level of personalized care.
I am a firm believer that medicine is not just a science, but also an art. Treatment must be specific to the individual, as a person’s circumstances, genetics, and coping mechanisms are unique to each person.
I recognize the importance of being “slow to speak and quick to listen” when spending time with each patient. A simple reassurance and the instillation of hope can be as powerful as any medication.
