I provide care with compassion and empathy. I am dedicated to the use of my skill set to provide treatments and interventions that can decrease the often disruptive and distressing psychiatric symptoms, and assist those struggling with addiction. After an extensive evaluation, I advise patients on a plan that may involve medications, psychotherapy, or both to help people feel better and repair or build lives negatively impacted by psychiatric symptoms or use of substances. I work in consultation with patients’ existing teams of therapists, primary care providers, and medical specialists to provide and support a comprehensive health and wellness plan. I may encourage the participation of family or loved ones to help them support and assist the patient in their treatment and recovery.
