Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During the first session, I will complete a thorough psychiatric and medical evaluation. This includes a review of past treatment history, current symptoms, medical conditions, family history, and any recent labs or relevant testing. Patients can expect a structured, evidence-based approach designed to clarify diagnosis, assess safety, and begin building a personalized treatment plan. After this initial assessment, patients gain a clearer understanding of their mental health condition and how therapy, medications, or lifestyle changes may help reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My strengths include conducting detailed psychiatric assessments, integrating medical knowledge into treatment planning, and fostering a collaborative treatment environment. I focus on safe prescribing, careful monitoring for side effects, and coordination with other healthcare providers when needed. Working closely with supervising psychiatrists at Santana Mental Health Services ensures that every treatment plan is comprehensive, medically rigorous, and tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Patients are encouraged to ask questions and participate in treatment decisions, ensuring their care is both effective and collaborative.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work with patients experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, substance use disorders, and other mental health conditions. I also support patients with complex medical histories, where psychiatric and physical health intersect. My ideal patients are those who want a medically informed approach to psychiatric care, value collaboration with a multidisciplinary team, and are motivated to participate actively in their treatment.
