MY TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY
I believe meaningful change can happen best when my patients and I can build a relationship that is warm, compassionate and non-judgemental. To do this, in my evaluation, I explore together with my patients the biological, psychological and social contributors to their current challenges so that we can have a thorough understanding of who they are and what they are struggling with. I then develop a treatment plan that is personalized, takes into account my patients’ needs and preferences and can include psychotherapy, medication or both. I have experience in psychodynamic, supportive, cognitive behavior and interpersonal therapy and use the principles of these respective modalities to optimize my treatments. I also take into account any medical issues that may be impacting treatment and address sleep, stress management, mindfulness, nutrition, and exercise. I enjoy getting to know my patients and feel grateful for their choosing to work together to make their lives better.

We will review your mental health history, symptoms, and concerns to provide an accurate and tailored treatment plan. This thorough evaluation ensures a clear understanding of your needs and the best path forward for your mental health.
Ongoing sessions provide continuous support and tailored treatment to help you manage your mental health. These regular meetings foster a therapeutic relationship, allowing for consistent progress and adjustment of your treatment plan as needed.
