Experience

you can trust for your entire family…

 

 

There is a

moment of clarity, when a person realizes the power they have to control their

own life. Thoughts, feelings and beliefs can manifest themselves as either

destructive or healing behaviors. Whether the problem is due to a biologically

based illness or events in one’s life, no one needs to continue to be the

victim. I help each of my patients to become actively involved in their own

health and recovery. 

 

 

 

Understanding

to help you heal

 

 

No matter how out

of balance a person feels, I believe that he or she has an inner capacity to

move toward health and wholeness. I see my work as becoming a partner in helping

them discover the tools needed to reach their own concept of health. That is why

I take the time to perform an accurate and thorough clinical diagnosis. With

this information, I can truly get to the root of a patient’s problem and

develop a treatment plan that brings about a positive change and improved mental

health.

Connecting

with every patient

 

 

My patients have

always taught me critical lessons about the challenges of living with mental

illness. Even more important, they taught me one very valuable lesson that I

continue to hold in the highest esteem today: My role as a psychiatrist is to

not only alleviate the symptoms of mental illness, but o also help individuals

redefine themselves. Through proper treatment, I am able to help my patients

make lasting changes in their sense of self, their relationships, and their

lives.

Remaining

at the top of her field

 

 

I believe that to

work successfully with my patients, I must be knowledgeable of the changing

issues they face in their lives, the limitations they have encountered based on

their history, and do my best to understand life from their perspective. My work

requires not only a solid understanding of the developmental and mental-health

issues, it also requires rigorous and ongoing interaction with my peers to stay

abreast of the latest breakthroughs.
