I specialize in treating adolescents and adults with mental health disorders. I use a holistic approach in treating mental health disorders across the lifespan. In addition, I provide therapeutic services to patients of diverse backgrounds with cultural sensitivity. My methods include utilizing a pharmacotherapeutic/ psychotherapeutic approach in providing beneficial mental health care. I understand that living with a psychiatric illness can be challenging, but a positive outlook on life can be achieved with the right psychiatric care approach, which involves patient teaching and collaboration. My goal is to make every patient I consult with realize that there is light at the end of the tunnel and a debilitating mental health disorder can be effectively treated.
