I actively incorporate patient preferences into all treatment plans and integrate psychotherapy with medication management. I recognize the importance of educating patients about their care and dedicate time during each appointment to address any questions or concerns they may have.

In my clinical practice, I begin by facilitating an open dialogue with patients regarding their primary concerns for the appointment. During initial consultations, I conduct a comprehensive assessment, which includes gathering relevant medical, familial, and social histories that may influence the course of treatment. In subsequent appointments, I engage patients by inquiring about developments that have occurred since their last visit, as well as any issues related to medications or significant life events.
