I believe that patients are essential members of their healthcare team and should be involved in making decisions that affect their wellbeing. Patients are often experts of their own body and experiences; if not, we will work through blockages disconnecting oneself from one's body to gain insights. It can be overwhelming to seek help for mental health and be vulnerable with a new provider, so I want patients to know that I am here for you with an open heart and nonjudgmental mind. Since I have worked with patients who felt misunderstood or mistreated by healthcare professionals, I intentionally endeavor to break that pattern.
I strive to develop mutual trust and understanding with patients by meeting you where you are, collaborating towards goals, and supporting you throughout your growth process. Together, we will address chemical imbalances with medications and therapeutic approaches individualized to your needs.
I am passionate about partnering with patients to achieve your goals and holistic wellbeing through psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy. In addition, I often recommend seeing a therapist for complex cases and longer sessions. Let’s embark on a journey towards transformational healing and self-re/discovery.
