One of the most vital components and predictors of success in your treatment with a provider is by establishing a trusting and therapeutic relationship during your very first visit. When seeing me as your provider, you can expect a completely and unequivocally judgement free atmosphere while ensuring patient centered care remains paramount. I truly believe that each person experiences mental illness in their own unique ways, which makes fine-tuning and tailoring your treatment plan of the utmost importance to me! About me: My passion for mental health began many years ago, but has never left me for a second. I truly love what I do and deeply care for my patients. I am from New York originally and I have 2 dogs.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During a first appointment, I like to get to know my patients first and then proceed into more targeted questions in order to provide a holistic model of treatment.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I actively listen to my patients and enjoy the expertise found by practicing both the science and the art of psychopharmacological management.
