My communication style

I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where individuals feel comfortable sharing openly. My goal is to ensure that patients feel actively involved in their care, fostering a collaborative approach rather than one that feels directive or solely focused on medication.

My journey to mental healthcare

I primarily worked with patients recovering from traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries, supporting them through life-altering transitions. I recognized my passion for helping patients move forward and improve their quality of life. I was drawn to psychiatry due to the significant impact mental health care can have on overall well-being.

My goals for you

I prioritize understanding what is most important to each patient and tailor treatment accordingly. I encourage the use of SMART goals, allowing patients to set realistic and achievable objectives. I remind patients that progress is individualized, and meaningful change takes time, emphasizing the importance of patience and self-compassion.

Our first session

I conduct comprehensive intake evaluations to understand my patients' emotions, experiences, and goals. My approach emphasizes symptom management rather than diagnosis alone. My primary objective is to understand each patient's unique goals and identify areas where they seek meaningful change.
