Care Philosophy 



To combine state-of-the-art medication therapy (if necessary) with compassionate psychotherapy for symptom relief, practical problem solving and psychological insight into feelings and behaviors. I approach therapy as a conversational dialog.


Expertise in psychopharmacology is aimed to a personalized approach that uses the scientifically verified evidence adjusted for the nuances of an individual's personal experience.  I do not think of talk therapy as a "cure" but a "collaboration."
