I particularly enjoy helping individuals dealing with insomnia, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, mood disorders, and medical trauma. As a Perinatal Mental Health-certified expert, I advocate for women's mental health needs and support individuals navigating mental health concerns during pregnancy and beyond.

My treatment approach is rooted in shared decision-making, prioritizing patient goals and preferences to create customized care plans, which typically include psychotherapy in combination with medication. I often integrate evidence-based lifestyle modifications and natural treatments to optimize personal well-being. By taking a holistic view of my patients' challenges, I empower them to lead their most fulfilling lives.

A graduate of the University of South Florida's College of Medicine and former Chief Resident at St. Luke's in Pennsylvania, I bring extensive training and experience in outpatient psychiatry.

I am dedicated to creating a therapeutic environment characterized by warmth, empathy, and nonjudgmental support. My approach involves collaborating with patients to develop individualized treatment plans that consider cultural, biological, psychological, and social factors. With a primary focus on medication management, I also have a keen interest in psychotherapy, and I often integrate supportive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and psychodynamic psychotherapy during 30-minute follow-up visits to optimize wellness and recovery.

During the first visit, patients can expect a thorough evaluation that explores their symptoms, treatment history, and personal goals. I take the time to listen and understand each patient's needs, ensuring that their treatment plan is tailored to their specific concerns. I provide a compassionate and structured approach to medication management while fostering a collaborative environment where patients feel supported in their mental health journey.

At the heart of my clinical approach is a strong emphasis on establishing trust, rapport, and therapeutic alliance to help persons to feel and live well and to progress toward their goals, both in treatment and in life. I begin with consultation, a compassionate, collaborative process of discovery that culminates in a working diagnostic impression and, in turn, treatment recommendations. For those with whom I engage in a treatment relationship, I provide psychoeducation, medication management, and individual psychotherapy, this last modality predominantly drawing from both psychodynamic and behavioral psychological models to tailor treatment to each patient. On some occasions, I may believe that additional therapy is needed and ask that you bring a therapist into your care team to provide the best outcome.

This has been reflected in my pursuit of treating patients suffering from diverse medical and psychiatric conditions, respective psychological mindedness, and varied socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. I am fascinated by the human mind, its mechanisms to pursue goals, and the cyclical patterns seen in maladaptation and suffering. I believe in understanding patients' experiences and developing comprehensive treatment plans towards reconciliation. I honor active listening, analytic understanding, supportive psychotherapy techniques, and evidence-based and methodological treatment for patient care and actualization. My goal is to assist patients in navigating short- and long-term goals as well as improved quality of life. I focus on medication management, offered in conjunction with supportive therapy, in 1-hour initial and 30-minute follow-up visits. I believe that appropriate patients can benefit from additional exploratory and self-actualizing therapy from other valued and specialized therapists to support targeted goals, and I will not hesitate to recommend and promote consultations with therapists for such patients who are ready to pursue. Ultimately, I seek to understand, validate, and treat patients in a collaborative therapeutic alliance.

A story I came across years back still inspires me each day. A man was taking a morning walk at the beach. He saw that along with the morning tide came hundreds of starfish. When the tide receded, the starfish were left behind and would die in the morning sun. While the tide was fresh and the starfish were alive, the man took a few steps, picked one up, and threw it into the water, and continued throwing starfish back into the ocean. Behind him was a stranger who couldn't understand what this man was doing. He caught up with him and asked, "What are you doing? There are hundreds of starfish. How many can you help? What difference does it make?" The man did not reply; rather, he took two more steps, picked up another one, threw it into the water, and said, "It makes a difference to this one." With this story as my motivation and ultimate objective, it has always been my goal, with each patient, to provide superior services.

My practice focuses on medication management. Typically, I offer this in conjunction with supportive or emotionally focused therapy during 30-minute follow-up visits.
