Collaborative Psychiatric CareYou are the expert on yourself and your experience. I bring knowledge about mental health concerns and treatments from my thirty years of providing mental health care. Together, we will work to identify the best treatment for you.
My practice, located in Amherst, Massachusetts, focuses on psychopharmacology. If you decide to use medication, we will monitor its effects closely together, making needed changes along the way. I value getting to know the people I work with. Along with your mental health history, I want to know about your interests, values and strengths. I believe in the essential wholeness and integrity of each one of us, and in the remarkable capacity we all have to heal. I approach each person with whom I work with respect and with appreciation for the unique aspects of their selves and their lives. Managing psychiatric medication works best when there is also collaboration between the psychiatric provider, psychotherapist and the primary care provider. The most effective treatment for mental health issues is often a combination of psychotherapy and medication. |
