Philosophy
Collaboration! I always tell my clients: You are the driver; I am the navigator! My
approach to treatment includes consideration of your unique biopsychosocial
circumstances. I aim to provide psychoeducation during every visit so that you feel well-
informed to be able to make the best decision for yourself. I also enjoy collaborating
with the multidisciplinary healthcare team (therapists, primary care providers, other
specialists) and your loved ones when indicated (and always with your consent).
