Great to meet you!

Understanding how intricately the mind, body, and soul intersects, a holistic and integrative approach to quality mental healthcare is of paramount importance to my practice. As a result, taking a bilateral approach with the client's input in their respective treatment/care plan ensures appropriate understanding and facilitates compliance to ensure well-being.

My approach to therapy

Considering all other variables and differentials in order to arrive at the most definitive diagnosis/diagnoses is a necessity in my treatment of mental health disorders. Both pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy are weighed in depending on the client's presenting symptomatology. In treatment-resistant cases, pharmacogenetic testing is utilized in guiding medication selection to ascertain efficacy. Aspects of the provision of care are carefully carried out in a collaborative effort with the client.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a transparent, candid, and thorough evaluation provided in a compassionate manner. Psychoeducation will be rendered to ensure the client's understanding of diagnosis as well as evidence-based treatment modalities.
