I am a board certified Psychiatrist who earned my MD at LSU Shreveport where I also completed my residency training in Adult Psychiatry. I completed two fellowships at UCSF in Public Psychiatry and Addiction Psychiatry. I believe that it is my job to teach my patients about their mental health options and remain a curious about learning their story and background to ensure a collaborative approach when treatment planning.
There are psychological and social factors that need to be considered and it's not about shoving pills at a person. It is my belief that a holistic approach is key towards long term change. I believe it is privilege to provide care to my patients, and I never want to rush the process. I want my patients to feel like they are being seen and heard. My priority is providing quality mental health care. I am very passionate about education as I know that navigating the healthcare system can be daunting.
You can expect for me to treat you with compassion, respect, and kindness. My goal is for the patient to feel comfortable and empowered. We are working together on your healing journey. Patients leave appointments with me feeling like their understanding and comfort are taken into consideration.
