We are a patient-centered, whole-person approach to mental health care that I've developed over the last decade in my clinical practice, treating a range of mental health issues from depression and anxiety to bipolar and attention deficit disorders. As a psychiatrist, I've integrated and expanded therapeutic techniques based on current and proven theoretical models in medical and mental health research, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment-focused theory, and eye motion desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. With medication management as one of my tools, I've created and facilitated successful treatment plans for those with diagnosed mental illness as well as for those who are struggling under the weight of stress and trauma.
