Great to meet you!

Welcome!! I am trained as a psychiatrist but believe that mental health is based on good general health. I have been practicing for 22 years.

My approach to therapy

Trained as an osteopathic doctor, we were taught to look at the whole person and not just the "symptom". That is how I approach each person that I have the honor and pleasure of working with.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, I will be asking you a lot of questions about your history of medical issues and social history, in addition to what you are currently struggling with. That allows me to know about the biopsychosocial aspects of you and helps direct treatment.
