What should a new client know about working with you?

When traditional psychiatry is combined with evidence-based attention to biological, psychological, and social influences on our well-being, this promotes better responses to treatment and improvements in physical and mental health.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

It is your life and your treatment should be grounded in what matters to you. It's my responsibility to provide enough information about treatment options to help you make an informed decision about how you would like to pursue the goals that are important to you.
