Let's create solutions together
"My philosophy is that most dual-diagnosis patients achieve the best outcomes through a conservative approach to medication, combined with therapy and holistic healing. My goal is to help restore balance in brain chemistry and promote optimal functioning by addressing symptoms with minimal pharmacological intervention while encouraging patients to embrace complementary therapies for a comprehensive recovery."
