How Can I Help

As a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist, my practice is characterized by a commitment to evidence-based treatments, empathetic communication, and collaboration with patients to create personalized treatment plans. By offering a continuum of care across the lifespan, I play a crucial role in supporting individuals as they navigate the complexities of mental health, promoting lasting well-being and improved quality of life. In other words, we can work together for as long as you’d like (as long as you are in Texas!). 

I provide new prescriptions, ongoing medication management, and therapy services for all of my clients. Whether you are looking to try medication for the first time or hoping to titrate off of something you are currently prescribed, I am here for you.

How Psychiatric Services Can Help

When you choose my psychiatric services, your personalized treatment plan will be a collaborative journey, tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. For children and adolescents, the focus is on creating a supportive space to address developmental challenges, academic stress, and interpersonal dynamics. The goal is to enhance emotional resilience, provide coping strategies, and promote healthy growth.

In adult psychiatry, we delve into a comprehensive assessment of mental health concerns, such as mood disorders, anxiety, and relationship issues. Your treatment plan may involve a combination of psychotherapy, medication management, and lifestyle adjustments. Psychotherapy sessions offer a confidential space to explore thoughts and feelings, fostering self-awareness and coping skills. Medication management, if deemed necessary, aims to alleviate symptoms and restore a balanced mental state.

By addressing mental health comprehensively, the treatment plan seeks not only to alleviate symptoms but also to equip you with tools for long-term resilience. Together, we work towards a holistic understanding of your mental health, fostering positive change and helping you lead a more fulfilling life. Remember, seeking support is a courageous step, and I am here to support you every step of the way.
