THERAPEUTIC APPROACH
At Crescent Psychiatry, I believe our work together should be collaborative and reflective. I believe symptoms should be understood in the context of both past and present experiences and that our time together should ultimately help you live your life more freely and fully. I approach mental health treatment with a genuine interest in getting to know each patient and taking the time to learn about their values, relationships, struggles, and conflicts.
If we decide to work together, you will find that I am a warm, attentive, and empathic psychiatrist who believes that treatment should be individualized and, depending on the presenting problem, can consist of any combination of medication and/or psychotherapy. Together, we will find a treatment plan that caters to your specific needs.
