I believe mental wellness should be viewed no differently than physical wellness! The same time, effort, and dedication invested in taking care of your body should also be applied to your mental well-being. Together, we will assess and diagnose your mental health concerns and identify evidence-based treatments — including behavioral interventions and medication management. I believe in maintaining a "lowest and fewest" approach — or the lowest dose and fewest number of medications to address your areas of concern.

I have always felt that the brain is the most important and neglected organ in the body, and taking care of the brain is the key to well being. I take a holistic approach to care, evaluating for physical, nutrition, hormones, situational and psychodynamic causes of illness, whilst practicing evidence based psychiatry. I have a background in integrative psychiatry and HIV psychiatry. I believe that everyone has value, and everyone deserves the best care.

While trained broadly in mental health, I have extensive experience helping those with depression, anxiety, and obsessive compulsive disorder. I take great joy in helping my patients overcome their difficulties so that they can obtain the happiness and quality of life they're seeking.

I will achieve this goal through medication management, psychotherapy, and education, to help you live your best life.

Reaching out for help is taking a significant step towards improving your situation. Embracing vulnerability and seeking help is a powerful display of self-awareness and resilience. Clients are most often experiencing depression and/or anxiety symptoms and require empathy, understanding and nonjudgement. This is crucial for improving their quality of life. Feeling understood can help alleviate the isolation and stigma often associated with mental health conditions.

I work with those struggling to be heard, valued, understood, and accepted.

I am deeply committed to helping my patients overcome their challenges and treating each individual with the same care and attention I would give to my own loved ones.
