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 ones 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 patients 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.
