My Clinical Approach

Mental health is simultaneously biological, psychological, and social. My clinical practice is founded on compassionate listening, diagnostic precision, and collaborative care. Whether tailoring medications, applying evidence-based neuromodulation (rTMS, tDCS, ECT), or delivering supportive psychotherapy, I work in partnership with each patient and their family to uphold dignity, relieve distress, and support lasting recovery.
