I don't have an ideal client, except that they are open to change. I will see anyone who asks for help, but I expect they are or will be willing to change. I attempt to understand the patient as a whole, from birth to the present, from a medical, psychological, familial, and neurological perspective. I am focused on practical solutions and removing emotional blocks to making progress. I speak directly and am primarily concerned about the relationship with my patients. I am an avid advocate for my patients.

My philosophy is based on the belief that each individual is unique and requires a personalized approach to their treatment. I work collaboratively with my patients to identify their specific needs and goals, and to develop a treatment plan that best suits them. The cost of an initial psychiatric appointment may seem high, it is reflective of the specialized training and expertise that my training brings to you. Additionally, the initial appointment is a crucial step in establishing a therapeutic relationship and developing a personalized treatment plan, which can ultimately lead to improved mental health and well-being.
