My Approach to Psychiatric Care

I provide outpatient psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and adults, drawing on extensive experience working with a wide range of patients across different settings and stages of life. My approach is grounded in understanding people, not just diagnoses but how someone thinks, feels, functions, and lives within their family, school, or work environment.

I take time to get to know each patient well and to understand the many factors that shape what they are experiencing. My work integrates both medication management and psychotherapy, using each intentionally and thoughtfully. When medications are used, they are prescribed carefully, with close attention to response, side effects, and the broader context of a person’s life.

I work collaboratively with patients and, when appropriate, closely with families, schools, and other providers, remaining attentive and involved as care evolves over time.
