There are many factors that can contribute to feeling out of balance emotionally. The path to feeling well again can be challenging, but no doubt life changing. As a psychiatrist, I can guide you through the process with psychotherapy, medication management, or a combination of both. My goal first and foremost is to develop a strong connection with my patients.
I seek to understand each individual's life story and current circumstances to best understand how I can help. I am thorough in my assessment and mindful of your preferences throughout our work together. When prescribing medications, I aim to prescribe the lowest effective dose for your symptoms. If you are not already meeting with a therapist, I will often recommend talk therapy with me or with another clinician.
My treatment plan will also entail evidence-based lifestyle modifications to optimize your well-being, such as exercise and mindfulness practices. If you are interested in alternative treatment options, I can serve as a resource for nutritional recommendations, supplements, and/or mind-body practices.
