Life is challenging even in the best circumstances, so when life presents with an unexpected event this can cause physical & mental pain. Men at some point struggle with if they are good disciplinarians, have they been a good provider & husband, & if they are really experiencing a midlife crisis. Women often have similar experiences of life as wives, mothers, nurturers, & as professionals attempting to break through gender inequalities. I will assist in building healthy, positive coping skills & combating symptoms through supportive therapy& prescribing medications based on a personalized approach and not a one size fit all concept.

I specialize in guiding young and middle-aged adults through difficult life transitions. Facing new academic or work demands, becoming a parent, or navigating relationship dynamics can present many challenges. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma related symptoms, insomnia, or a variety of other mental health symptoms, I want to guide you through these difficult times by building a supportive, non-judgmental relationship through which to collaborate to discover your ideal self. Psychiatry should not be one-size fits all. It is a dynamic art that takes time, attention to detail, and passion.

Coaching Psychiatrists
Life coaching is an increasingly popular profession that has no specific licensing or academic requirements. Though psychologists also often consider themselves life coaches, these therapists don't focus on treating mental illness. Instead, they help individuals realise their goals in work and in life.
