As a board certified psychiatrist I am comfortable treating adolescent and adult patients who are searching for outpatient psychiatric evaluation and medication management. My approach to psychiatric treatment follows the biopsychosocial formulation, in essence attempting to understand all of the factors that contribute to a patient's situation and developing a treatment plan that may address these factors.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I strongly believe that mental health matters and so do you. No one should have to go through difficult experiences and situations alone. Although, there is still a stigma that surrounds mental health, I thrive in providing an empathetic and nonjudgmental safe space for my patients. Providing a therapeutic environment that fosters trust, encouragement, and partnership while taking into account each patient holistically is my priority.

Prior to training as a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I studied existential phenomenological psychotherapy with a focus on psychotherapeutic applications. I worked as a therapist for a period of time applying this model. This has given me an appreciation and respect for the uniqueness of every person. I believe this is blends well with the application of psychiatric science, which is our guiding framework but can also be limiting, stigmatizing, and over-generalizing. My goal is to help patients live their best lives.
