I HAVE WORKED WITH A DIVERSE POPULATION OF PATIENTS IN MANY DIFFERENT CLINICAL SETTINGS.
This population is diverse in culture, age, race, gender identity, socioeconomic background and degree of mental health impairment. I feel very fortunate to be practicing psychiatry, grateful for the trust that individuals and families place in me, and enthusiastic about the evolution of understanding and treating mental illness.
MY TREATMENT APPROACH IS ROOTED IN BOTH THE SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE AND EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE.
My approach involves taking adequate time, active listening, understanding peoples’ concerns and struggles, being non-judgmental and culturally sensitive, having sound clinical knowledge and experience, openly discussing my thought process, talking about options, developing relationships and being flexible. Children, adolescents, adults and families deserve treatment specific to their mental health needs. To this end, I have extensive training in both psychopharmacology and various types of psychotherapy.
