Physician Assistants are medical professionals educated and trained in general medicine, much like physicians, but in a shorter period of time and then certified and licensed to work in collaboration with physicians. I planned on practicing general medicine but discovered a passion for psychiatry and saw a need for prescribing providers in that field. Health and wellness includes all aspects of our lives and should be integrated. So understanding medical issues and the science of how physical and mental health interact and affect the patient’s life and function leads to my holistic or integrated approach to care.

I use evidenced based diagnostic tools and medication management toward patient recovery. Therefore staying updated in the latest utilization of data for diagnosis and medication is important. Keeping abreast of newly discovered affects of genetics, trauma, inflammation, and nutrition allows me to help patients with co-existing disease and trauma.
Recovery from psychiatric illness can be complicated, it is a process of striving to untangle who we are and what we want our live to be. The patient carries much of the responsibility of wellness. This is evident in adherence to treatment plan, follow-up, as well as learning about their illness and adopting skills and behaviors to improve overall function.
