My treatment philosophy is integrative, combining thoughtful medication management with supportive, individualized therapy, and I encourage patients to consider the role of lifestyle factors like sleep, nutrition, and exercise. I begin with a conversational consultation focused on understanding each patient's story and needs, and together we co-create a personalized treatment plan grounded in the patient's values. I emphasize clear communication and routinely revisit treatment goals to ensure alignment, progress, and ongoing support.
