Professional Objectives
“My personal philosophy when providing psychiatric care to my patients is to treat each and every person as I would like to be treated. It is my moral obligation to provide nonjudgmental care and support to my patients. I also strive to educate my clients and other individuals in the community about mental health care. As a healthcare professional, I strongly believe that I have the ability to change the way those with mental illnesses view themselves and how they are viewed and treated by others.”

Theoretical Orientation
“I believe the treatment of psychiatric disorders should be holistic in nature and should include a combination of prescribing up-to-date psychiatric medications as well as well-researched natural treatments such as vitamins and supplements. This whole-body approach also incorporates wellness principles and lifestyle modifications, such as dietary changes, exercise, sleep hygiene, mindfulness, and social connectedness. I am here to work alongside you, give you hope, and help you improve your overall quality of life.”
