How I practice
Evidence-anchored, plain-spoken, and decisive. I write down plans, set check-ins, and make sure patients leave each visit knowing what we're doing and why. I'm a generalist by training and specialist by choice — I see psychiatric care as inseparable from sleep, training, nutrition, and the rest of the body.
