My philosophy
My treatment philosophy centers on compassionate, patient-centered care. I believe in actively engaging patients, ensuring they feel heard and understood. Every individual is unique, and I tailor my approach to fit their specific needs.
I focus on a mix of medication management and therapy techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy. Education is key—empowering patients with knowledge about their conditions fosters independence. I prioritize creating a safe space where patients can explore their emotions and develop coping strategies. With collaboration at the heart of my practice, I work closely with patients and their families to achieve meaningful and lasting outcomes.
