anxiety, ADHD, DMDD, mood disorders, trauma related concerns and behavioral challenges. I take a collaborative family centered approach to care including working closely with parents and schools. I am also dedicated to helping young girls and women through emotional challenges of reproductive period, pregnancy, perinatal and postpartum period. Prior to my decade's experience as a mental health specialist, I have worked in the field of primary care. Physical and mental health maintenance is a lifelong journey and there is ample evidence on mind, gut and body co-relation. As such, I emphasize and encourage my patients to have a multipronged approach towards mental health. From my experience, patients with open mind, solution focused and growth mindset typically have a better prognosis and are my ideal clients
First session
I do like to know my patient as a person before getting to the treatment process. In addition to their chief concerns, patients can expect to discuss their social history, medical history, mental health journey, review past medications and future life goals. They can consider this as a two-way interview to determine if provider is the right fit for them
Strengths
I foster a warm, compassionate and nonjudgmental approach to create a safe and supportive environment where patients feel heard, understood and empowered to thrive. I truly believe each patient is unique, my approach often combines medication management and psychotherapy tailored to their individual needs
Ideal clients
The journey of mental wellbeing is a shared responsibility and commitment between patient and provider. Research shows patients with an open mind, self acceptance and perseverance have better outcomes which is something I value. From patient concerns perspective, I am best positioned to serve patients with concerns of mood disorders, major depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, panic disorders,pediatric ADHD, emotional dysregulation in patientswith ASD, DMDD,patients with body image concerns/dysmorphia, PTSD,OCD, seasonal affective disorder,pregnancy/postpartum depression, anxiety and Bipolar disorder
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Our thoughts affect feelings and feelings impact our daily behaviors. A chronic maladaptive thought pattern will negatively impact physiological body functions. While it is imperative to track and challenge these cognitive distortions to improve emotional states, its equally crucial to learn to regulate our physiological bodily functions through diverse CBT modalities including but not limited to mindful breathing and muscle relaxation techniques. I model the use of these modalities during my medication management sessions and motivate patients to have a holistic approach to mental wellbeing
Motivational Interviewing
I have been utilizing motivational interviewing with patients in inpatient and outpatient setting. My approach is collaborative effort initially aimed at focusing on target behavior, assisting patient in developing specific personal goals, explore ambivalence and steer patient to elicit change talk. Ultimately, help patient plan and take action when ready. I achieve this through open ended questions, positive self affirmations, reflective listening and empathy
