Psychiatric evaluation and diagnosis
I offer psychiatric evaluations to diagnose mental health conditions.
This involves a thorough assessment of your mental and emotional state, medical history, and behavior patterns through interviews and tests.
Based on this, I can identify specific disorders and create a personalized treatment plan for you.
Treatment and prevention of mental, emotional and behavioral disorders
I specialize in the treatment and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders, including but not limited to depression, eating disorders, insomnia, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and psychosis.
My goal is to provide comprehensive care to help you achieve and maintain mental well-being.
