Life can be challenging and difficult. All of us are vulnerable to feelings of sadness/worry when life's stressors become too much. Sometimes these issues can develop into more serious mental illness, such as clinical depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, even psychosis. If your mood is interfering with your ability to enjoy life or reach your goals, it's time to seek help. If your struggles with trauma or feeling broken are making it impossible to experience life to its fullest or even just function day-to-day, it is well past time start moving forward. If in Texas or South Carolina, reach out! (Emailed preferred.)
As a psychiatrist (M.D.), medication management is a part of my practice; however, it is my firm belief that a pill is rarely the sole answer for most mental health issues. Each maladaptive symptom expressed is a creative endeavor to adapt and survive hard things. I help patients identify strengths, rewrite narratives, all while finding purpose and healing.
I strive to build a trusting relationship through warmth, empathy and genuine curiosity. Ultimately, my practice style includes biological, psychological and lifestyle interventions to help my patients lead rich, fulfilling and purposeful lives. Please explore my website and contact me there or via email if you think we would be a good fit.
