Philosophy

In my practice I work collaboratively with individuals and families so they can make the best decisions for themselves and/or their loved one(s) while listening closely to their narrative, being mindful of their personal values, perspective and priorities. I am sensitive to the interplay of an individual’s social relationships, their psychological, emotional, and physical needs and strengths.

I recommend and provide treatments supported by research evidence, including therapy, medication management or combination treatment. I am judicious in my use of medications and I coordinate treatment closely with other clinicians so that my patients receive the best possible care.

If the recommended first-line treatment is outside the scope of my practice, I will help you find the appropriate provider.
