My Approach to Helping
I have developed a passion for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, in particular early childhood trauma, and Women's Mental Health. I have experience in working in a variety of settings including the outpatient setting, inpatient psychiatry, and in the Emergency Room as well as with varied populations. I am well-versed in psychopharmacology but believe in a whole person approach. It is my goal to focus on not only medication but also on the other aspects of healthy living and relationships that can allow mental health to flourish. I believe in a collaborative approach and involve parents, if the patient is a child, therapists, and other professional team members in the treatment process to ensure we are working to have positive growth and change from each avenue possible. I aim to create an inclusive and welcoming space to explore and understand any concerns with mental health and work as a team to make changes based on each individual's specific needs.
