About Me

Care Philosophy
  • I always treat my patients like I would a family member, with care, respect, and dignity. I enjoy getting to know families and watching their adults and children reach their maximum potential. I make sure know both the patient and I agree on the medication strategy before we embark on treatment, even if that means no medication at all and a referral to a good therapist instead. I do not push an agenda. I do not get paid to medicate.  I am not sponsored by any drug companies. I am your advocate for strong mental health. I do encourage my patients to play a significant role in their own treatment as well. I am happy to be your provider or provide a second opinion to your primary care physician. I work in a practice with many therapists and understand how important therapy is to a successful life. I utilize a blend of telehealth and office care. Due to Covid-19, much of the care is through telehealth right now, but that will balance out as we approach summer 2021.
