“A tree that is unbending is easily broken.” Lao Tzu (Tao Te Ching). One of Aesop’s fables, “The Oak and the Reeds,” reflects this same idea- that a rigid oak will break in a major storm whereas the flexible reeds live on. We cannot avoid life’s storms, yet we can find ways to weather them and perhaps come out the other side a bit stronger. I believe that the key to this is resilience. It is the ability to spring back from adversity. To face the winds of life while also being strong in one’s core and true to one’s value. And after the storm, to stand up straight and tall, unbroken. My goal is to help you build your resilience.
I take a collaborative and balanced approach to psychiatric care. This means first listening to you in an empathic and supportive way to fully understand your goals in seeking care. From there, we work together to establish a treatment plan.
This plan may include a combination of various modalities including medication management, psychotherapy, mindfulness, nutrition, and exercise. I look at each patient as an individual and strive to provide care that addresses the individual’s unique needs.
