Care Philosophy

I choose a holistic approach with my patients. I’m not treating just a diagnosis. I am treating an individual. Each patient has a family, friends, and their community. I address their behavioral health needs while incorporating their individual psychosocial dynamics that need to be addressed such as family nuances, religion and culture.
