Why I Do This Work
"I chose psychiatry because my own family needed it—badly—and couldn't find it. That loss still guides my work."
I practice with empathy, clinical rigor, and respect for culture and faith. No jargon. No judgment. Just careful listening and a plan that fits your life.
Mental health care shouldn’t feel rushed or impersonal. It should feel like someone finally heard you—and knows what to do next.
My Approach
I believe good psychiatric care starts with a thorough evaluation. Not a 15-minute questionnaire—a real conversation. I want to understand what’s happening in your life, not just check boxes.
From there, we build a plan together. Sometimes that’s medication. Sometimes it’s psychotherapy-like.
- CBT
- Supportive Psychotherapy
- DBT
- Interpersonal Psychotherapy
- Solution-based brief therapy
Often it’s both. The goal is always the same: help you feel like yourself again, with as little medication as possible.
I work with highly specialized therapists and primary care providers because mental health doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Your sleep, your stress, your physical health—it all matters.
