My Approach to Helping

I have a holistic and thorough approach to assessments. Although I do not believe diagnoses define a person, I do believe it important to clarify the etiology of symptoms as a means of exploring evidence-based approaches to care. As important human experiences (e.g. grief, existential woes) may manifest similarly to pathology, I take care not to medicate experiences which are better managed with therapy, education, mindfulness and behavioral changes. As I have extensive medical training, I am able to screen for any medical contributions to mental health challenges. I find it important to collaborate with one's primary care doctor or naturopath. I recognize that my knowledge and expertise are most impactful when there is a meaningful therapeutic relationship. I value the insight you and your loved ones bring to treatment. Should we work together, I commit to remaining transparent, collaborative and compassionate.
