As a board-certified practitioner, I specialize in high-quality mental health care through comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and personalized treatment plans. With over 20 years of medical experience, including 13 years in psychiatry, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate mental health services to children, adolescents, and adults. My approach considers the biological, psychological, and social factors impacting mental health. I am passionate about demystifying mental health and committed to offering judgment-free care that includes thorough evaluations, medication management, and solution-focused brief supportive therapy. I emphasize that medications are a part of the treatment plan, not the entirety, and recognize the importance of a holistic approach. I have expertise in managing various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Offering both in-person and virtual visits, I strive to provide compassionate care, helping individuals achieve optimal functioning and regain emotional well-being. I am currently accepting new patients aged six and up and look forward to collaborating on your treatment journey and providing the mental health care you deserve.

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

Clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where their comfort and well-being are prioritized. The initial session serves as an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a therapeutic relationship. Here's what clients can expect: Introductions and Establishing Rapport: We'll start by introducing ourselves and getting acquainted. I'll create a space where clients feel safe to share their concerns and goals. Discussion of Concerns and Goals: Clients will have the opportunity to discuss the reasons for seeking therapy and what they hope to achieve. I'll listen attentively, ask clarifying questions, and work collaboratively to understand their unique perspective. Assessment: I'll conduct a comprehensive assessment to gather information about the client's mental health history, current symptoms, life circumstances, and any relevant medical or psychosocial factors. This may involve asking questions about their past experiences, family history, coping strategies, and treatment preferences. Exploration of Treatment Options: Based on the assessment, we'll discuss potential treatment options and develop a personalized treatment plan together. This may include medication management, lifestyle changes, and other interventions tailored to the client's needs and preferences. Addressing Questions and Concerns: I'll take the time to address any questions or concerns the client may have about therapy, the treatment process, confidentiality, or any other relevant topics. Ending the Session: We'll conclude the session by summarizing key points discussed, scheduling follow-up appointments, and ensuring that the client feels supported and informed about their next steps.

My treatment methods

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a counseling approach I use to help clients resolve ambivalence and facilitate behavior change. I create a collaborative environment where clients feel heard and understood. Through open-ended questions and reflective listening, I explore ambivalence, highlight discrepancies between current behavior and values, and elicit "change talk" to motivate clients. MI respects client autonomy and supports them in setting realistic goals aligned with their values. Overall, MI is effective in promoting sustainable behavior change driven by intrinsic motivation.
