Hi there!
I founded CIP Psychiatry to create a place where patients could access high-quality, in-network psychiatric care that is both personalized and comprehensive.
My treatment philosophy emphasizes a whole-person approach. While medication can be an important tool, I also incorporate therapy, lifestyle strategies, and wellness supports into treatment planning. I take time to build meaningful rapport, understand the unique challenges my patients face, and create tailored care plans that support both immediate relief and long-term growth. Together, we will work toward goals that empower you to feel better and live more fully.
