When you are struggling with mental health troubles everything just feels harder. My goal is to work with you on your unique path to recovery, and help you stay there.
At Brookhaven Psychiatry, we strive to provide the highest quality of care to our patients. Our goal is to work with you on your unique path to recovery, and help you stay there.
I am a board-certified psychiatrist with expertise treating the full spectrum of mental health conditions - with a focus on mood and anxiety disorders. I utilize a holistic approach combining evidence-based treatments including psychotherapy and medication where appropriate to optimize mental health outcomes. My practice offers both in-person and telehealth appointments to accommodate your specific needs.
Whether in-person or via telehealth, I strive to create an environment which is warm, inviting, and considerate of your time. I give all of my patients the individualized attention and care they deserve. Congratulations on taking important steps on your path to recovery and wellness. I look forward to walking with you and providing support along the way.
