Caring for others is a fundamental aspect of our humanity. When we take the time to truly listen, empathize, and support those around us, we create a world enriched with compassion and understanding. Whether it is a kind word to uplift someone’s spirits, lending a helping hand in times of need, or simply being present for someone who feels alone, caring for others fosters connection and healing. It is in these moments of selflessness that we cultivate a sense of community and build the bonds that make life meaningful.

Personally, I take that as a compliment, as a reminder of what our fragmented mental health care system has turned into and my insistence on doing something different. I like to talk to people, to dig deeply beyond the presenting symptoms and look for real long lasting solutions. I have seen truly life changing results from psychiatric medications and consider them an important tool in my tool box. The danger comes when it is the only tool in our tool box and we forget about the things that make life meaningful. We forget about the things that make us human. My own path to this point has been anything but a straight line, but the reality is every adventure, every mistake and surprise along the way made me who I am.

I would be honored to talk with you about your own journey. About your goals and challenges and where I might be able to help.

My goal is to have patients feel respected, heard and supported and to feel that contact with our clinic has helped them build stronger foundations for their future selves.
