I specialize in Mental Health, focusing on depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, and Schizophrenia throughout the life span. My preferred treatment approach is medication management with therapy, especially in an exacerbated state. Initially, I like to explore the problem. I also discuss issues that may have contributed to the current problem, past treatment, what worked, what worked a little, and what has been ineffective.
I work with adults and geriatrics with diagnoses of Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, and Substance Use Disorder.
I like to open my interviews with a brief introduction of both parties and in a quiet environment, ensuring that full attention is given. I am very empathetic, I listen to what my patients are saying and consider their needs and desires.
