As a Psychiatrist, hearing patients out and understanding what symptoms they consider most impairing to them is the most important part of my personal practice. I prefer a collaborative space where both myself and the patient can talk about their conditions in an in depth way, in order to find what specific treatments will work best for them. To me, an ideal patient has good insight into their condition or is willing to develop this through dedication towards treatment.

I will listen carefully to evaluate your problems and distress, your values and strengths. Then collaborate with and support you in psychotherapy. Besides decreasing distress and supporting you through difficult times, psychotherapy can help you to discover and understand how some automatic reactions of your mind, that you may not have been aware of, work. These can lead to problematic repetitive patterns, difficult or disrupted relationships, not working to your potential, and psychiatric symptoms. Changing these can improve your coping and interpersonal skills, allow you more freedom of choice and action, and to be more effective

My therapy style is eclectic, and I have been using Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy even before it was defined as such.
I would rather teach a skill than prescribe a pill, but I will. In other words, if you or someone you know is on or in need of psychiatric medications, yet would prefer to explore other ways to address their current circumstances, my practice is a great fit. This may include those who have tried multiple medications in the past and have had less then optimal success, found that they are very sensitive to medication effects, or wish to explore alternatives such as; learning mind/emotion/stress management skills, herbal or supplement alternatives (orthomolecular medicine), and spiritual practices to support their healing process.
