Biography
I graduated from Southern Methodist University with a BS in Health and Society. I completed medical school at the University of Texas Medical Branch and Psychiatry Residency Training at FAU Schmidt College of Medicine. I am psychodynamically trained and trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia. My experience spans inpatient, emergency, outpatient and Veterans Affairs psychiatry, including PTSD and substance abuse.
I am passionate about mental health, with a focus not only on treating illness but also on promoting overall well-being. I offer a warm, friendly, non-judgmental approach and seek to understand the whole person, including their story and struggles. I do not believe I alone can change a patient, but can help the patient help him/herself. I offer supportive therapy, CBT-style approaches, and interpersonal communication skills development based on patient needs. I want patients to feel comfortable, safe, and able to speak freely.
I start with a self-introduction and spend a few minutes listening before discussing the chief complaint. I use open-ended questions to understand family, medical, social, and psychiatric history. I consider organic causes and request baseline labs. By the first or second session, I aim to have a big picture that we fill in over time. I develop a dynamic treatment plan around the patient-stated goal and check in to course-correct.
