Great to meet you!

I am an experienced mental healthcare provider, with over 15 years of practice in community health centers, hospitals, outpatient clinics, private practice. I have a Masters of Science degree from OHSU, Portland, OR. I have vast experience treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, PTSD, ADHD, as well as thought disorders/psychoses.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am committed to high quality psychiatric care; I accomplish this by carefully listening and genuinely caring, engaging the patient in setting treatment plans, always up-to-date on most recent research in mental healthcare, applying strong work ethics. I make decisions based on the individual's needs - no "one size fits all", no "applying algorithms of care".

What you can expect from our first session

I connect well and fast with patients; soon after we meet, patients reaIize I'm there to do my best to help, non-judgmentally, no " personal agenda". I explain disorders and treatment plans, making sure the patient always understands what is going on and feels comfortable with all decisions made. When requested, I offer information on the disorder or treatment to patients' families or significant others.
