I consider it a privilege to practice medicine and to offer care to the amazing clients I work with. I especially enjoy the art of integrating science and the healing arts in my treatment of mood disorders, addictions, psychosis, and other disorders that create such great suffering. Medications can be a powerful adjunct to behavioral change, but I think my profession sometimes underestimates a person’s capacity for healing and meaningful change on their own with the right supports in place.
