My Approach
"We are not what happened to us, we are what we choose to become." — Carl Jung
I believe that every person has the capacity to grow, adapt and move toward their fullest potential—no matter their current challenges. My approach to psychiatry is personalized, collaborative and grounded in both clinical experience and compassion.
​
With a background in child psychiatry, I bring a developmental lens that helps us understand present difficulties in the context of the past. Together, we’ll explore strengths, supports, beliefs and past successes as we find new ways to move forward.
​
Treatment may include a combination of approaches, such as medication, nutrition, exercise, sleep support and meaningful self-care. I work closely with other providers as needed and take time to thoughtfully consider each individual’s care.
​
When medications are part of your treatment, I take a careful, step-by-step approach. We’ll begin with more frequent check-ins to monitor effectiveness and side effects, ensuring that any adjustments support your comfort and progress. In many cases, medication works best when combined with therapy.
