"Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful." I believe that while our patients face mental heath challenges, their own unique personalities and virtues also can help them overcome these difficulties and achieve personal growth through the recovery process. As a psychiatrist, my job is to utilize my knowledge, skills and clinical experience to guide and facilitate this process and make it faster and more fruitful. I am very grateful for the trust of my patient have put in me and the rewarding experience witness their recovery and personal growth.
My main expertise is medication management, however, I do provide brief therapy during the medication management session in order to help my patients understand their diagnoses, treatment options and prognoses well. I offer both in-person and virtual appointments.
I believe it is crucially important for the patients and their families to be fully informed and explained all treatment options (medication, therapy, nutritional support, exercise guidance, etc). My goal is to enhance the quality of life of my patients and respect their own individuality.
