TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY:

I believe in compassionate, holistic care for mental health. Each person is unique, so I focus on tailored treatment plans that combine psychotherapy, medication management, and lifestyle changes. I prioritize the mind-body connection, guiding my patients toward overall well-being. Education is key; I empower patients and their families to make informed choices about their care. I strive to create a supportive environment where patients feel safe and understood. Collaboration with interdisciplinary teams and community resources enhances our approach. Together, we can break the stigma of mental health and promote self-care. My goal is to help each patient achieve their best mental and emotional health.
