As a Board Certified Psychiatrist, specializing in Geriatric Psychiatry, I focus on the mental health challenges and needs of patients 65 years old and older, as well as, patients 55 years old or older with cognitive decline. My specialized training allows me to understand the complex interactions between physical and mental health. I recognize that aging can bring about a range of concerns from depression to anxiety to cognitive decline and dementia, which is why I approach each of my patients with compassion, patience and a deep understanding of the unique challenges they encounter.
I conduct thorough assessments, taking into account medical history, cognitive function, social support systems and environmental factors. Using evidence-based interventions such as medication management, psychotherapy and behavioral strategies, I work collaboratively with patients and their families to develop personalized treatment plans.
I prioritize fostering trusting and supportive relationships with my patients, ensuring they feel heard, respected and empowered throughout their care journey. By addressing their mental health needs holistically and with empathy, I strive to help older adults live fulfilling and dignified lives.
