Philosophy of Care

As a psychiatrist, I collaborate with patients to develop care plans prioritizing whole-person wellness. I strive to educate, empower, and support patients who are navigating the challenges of acute and chronic illness(es). I work to balance autonomy in the shared decision-making process. I utilize my knowledge of neuroscience, psychotherapy, pharmacology, and public health to support my patients.
