My Medication Philosophy

I advocate for the integration of psychiatric medication and psychotherapy as a potent therapeutic approach to enhance mental well-being and expedite recovery.

Often, your symptoms stem from a chemical imbalance, which may be hereditary, triggered by trauma, or a blend of both.

During my initial decade as a psychiatric provider, I encountered numerous individuals grappling with profound depression, anxiety, or anger, impeding their engagement in psychotherapeutic processes. Addressing these symptoms typically demanded several months of intensive weekly therapy, yet satisfactory outcomes were elusive for many. Some individuals, particularly those with a familial history of mental illness, found complete relief unattainable. Embracing psychopharmacology, I was heartened to witness significant improvements within a span of one to six weeks for many individuals, especially those grappling with inherited chemical imbalances.

For those battling anxiety or concentration issues, relief often manifests within minutes, akin to an “awakening.” After years of languishing in depression and anxiety, clarity of thought emerges, facilitating healthier decision-making.

In prescribing psychiatric medications, I adhere to the principle of “start low, go slow,” prioritizing caution and conservative dosage adjustments.

Additionally, I place significant emphasis on medication education to empower you with insights into the treatment of mental illnesses. Addressing concerns about potential side effects is paramount; while medications may entail such risks, it doesn’t imply inevitability. In reality, most individuals experience minimal to no adverse effects.

Together, we’ll devise a tailored plan that resonates with your comfort level and aligns with logical reasoning.
