“My approach is an ease of personal connection with a conversational tone, in my hopes of creating an environment in which (often) difficult, personal issues can be discussed. Treatment plans and decisions, including rationale, are always fully discussed, based on medical/psychiatric research as well as expertise and experience, and are jointly made with your assistance, as your own preferences, desires, and needs are critical, in fact, the crux of your own treatment. I am here to help you get better, feel better.”
