Find a Psychiatrist in Raleigh, NC

My path into medicine was inspired by a desire to care for patients in a compassionate and comprehensive way. I was drawn to psychiatry because it focuses on the whole person rather than only the illness. In my work, I take a holistic view of mental health, considering medical conditions, personal history, social determinants of health, support systems, and life goals when guiding care.

I strive to create a supportive environment where patients feel heard, respected, and comfortable communicating openly. I believe effective mental health care is built on collaboration and trust. My approach centers on understanding each patient's unique experiences and values so that treatment aligns with what matters most to them. I work collaboratively with patients to establish clear treatment goals and develop individualized care plans.

With training in adult psychiatry and additional training in addiction psychiatry, I provide evidence-based care and current pharmacologic treatments. I value partnering with patients on their path toward recovery, recognizing that each person's journey is unique.

I am passionate about integrative medicine, which combines evidence-based alternative therapies with conventional treatments to optimize outcomes. My approach focuses on promoting overall wellness, keeping both the body and mind in harmony. During the diagnostic evaluation, I will review your medical history and past treatments to develop a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan that prioritizes your overall wellness. In addition to medication management, I incorporate supportive, cognitive, or psychodynamic psychotherapy during follow-up visits, as time allows. When appropriate, I may also recommend referrals to specialized psychotherapists to address your individual needs as part of a holistic treatment approach.

I have also held Medical Director positions across various clinical settings, including child and adolescent inpatient units, outpatient programs, and intensive outpatient services for both adolescents and adults with mental health and co-occurring substance use disorders. As an active educator, I have served as a teaching faculty member, delivering lectures and providing supervision and evaluations for medical residents and child and adolescent psychiatry fellows, and I have served as a principal investigator on multiple studies.

I believe good psychiatric care begins with listening. I want patients to feel comfortable being open and honest without judgment. I take a collaborative approach, making treatment decisions together based on your goals, preferences, and circumstances. I am supportive while being thoughtful and straightforward about treatment options, including medications and potential benefits and side effects.

During the first visit, I learn about your concerns, history, treatment experiences, and goals. Together, we develop an individualized plan that may include medication, therapy, behavioral strategies, or a combination. At follow-ups, we assess progress, address concerns or side effects, and adjust the plan as needed.

I believe in building a strong therapeutic alliance grounded in empathy, respect, and curiosity. I value collaboration and open communication, ensuring that patients feel like active partners in their care.

I also prioritize incorporating cultural background and social determinants of health, including financial stressors and systemic barriers, into treatment planning.

In my work, I begin by taking time to understand each patient's unique story, experiences, and goals. I approach care through a trauma-informed lens and with cultural sensitivity to ensure treatment feels safe, respectful, and relevant. My process integrates evidence-based approaches, including psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), while tailoring care plans to meet both clinical needs and patient preferences.
