A BROADER PERSPECTIVE
More Than
Symptoms
Your mental health is shaped by many interconnected factors. I take a comprehensive look at your biological, psychological, relational, and life circumstances to inform a treatment plan that fits you rather than a standardized one..
YOU
A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS
Thoughtful Diagnosis.
Personalized Care.
Treatment is not a one-size-fits-all process. I take time to understand your story, challenges, and goals while offering evidence-based treatments, including medication when appropriate. I find that many patients begin to feel better early in the process due to feeling better understood, less overwhelmed, and through having greater clarity about their diagnosis and treatment.
Medication as One Part of Care
Medication can be very helpful when prescribed responsibly and monitored appropriately. At the same time, medication alone is not always enough.
I take a thoughtful, individualized approach to medication, considering potential benefits and risks while taking your preferences seriously. As part of my comprehensive approach, I also bring a therapeutic lens to psychiatric care, remaining curious about psychological patterns, internal conflicts, ways of coping, and other stuck points that may be contributing to suffering. When appropriate, I integrate psychotherapy into our sessions, and when more in-depth psychotherapy would be helpful, I can assist in identifying an appropriate therapist and collaborate with them as part of your overall treatment.
AN EVOLVING PROCESS
Care That Evolves With You
Ongoing Conversation
We start with a thoughtful discussion about your current concerns, history, and goals. This is a chance for you to ask questions and for us to get to know each other.
Understanding the Full Picture
We explore your symptoms, past experiences, medical history, lifestyle, relationships, and what matters most to you, so we can develop a shared understanding of your unique situation.
Building a Personalized Plan
Together, we create a treatment plan that may include medication, therapy recommendations, lifestyle changes, and other supports that are tailored and specific to you.
Ongoing Support and Adjustment
We meet regularly to monitor your progress, recognizing gains, and making adjustments as needed. Care is an ongoing process, and we’ll continue to refine the plan as your needs evolve.
