Biography
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.
