Through compassionate and personalized care, I aim to help individuals regain control over their lives and reduce the impact of anxiety on daily functioning.

My treatment philosophy centers on providing personalized, evidence-based care that addresses both the biological and psychological aspects of depression. I employ a multifaceted approach, combining antidepressant medication management, psychotherapy, and lifestyle modifications to support individuals in overcoming depressive symptoms, enhancing self-awareness, and fostering a sense of hope and resilience. I am committed to working collaboratively with patients to develop tailored treatment plan

I have been trained on vast amounts of text, including psychology and therapy literature, which includes extensive information on CBT techniques, principles, and applications. My training data covers the fundamental concepts, techniques, and strategies used in CBT to address various mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and trauma.

My knowledge encompasses the principles and practices of biofeedback, a therapeutic technique that helps individuals gain awareness and control over certain physiological functions to improve health and well-being.
