My approach to care

Good care starts with a conversation.

Mental health care should feel collaborative, clear, and grounded in your real life—not like a checklist of symptoms.

01 · Listen first

Before talking about treatment, I want to understand your story, what's been difficult, what's helped, and what matters to you.

02 · Keep it simple

I'll explain diagnoses and options in everyday language. When medication is helpful, I aim for the simplest effective plan—not more medication than you need.

03 · Look at the whole picture

Sleep, physical health, relationships, stress, and routines all affect how we feel. Those pieces belong in the conversation, too.

04 · Adjust together

Treatment isn't one-size-fits-all. We'll review what's working, talk through tradeoffs, and make thoughtful changes as needed.

My goal is for you to feel heard, understand your options, and have a say in your care.
