Practicing Since: 2017
Positions Held: Physician Assistant for Adult Populations at Sun Pointe Health; Staff Psychiatric Physician Assistant at Mount Nittany Medical Center’s Behavioral Health Unit.
Treatment Approach/Philosophy: My prescribing philosophy focuses on the appropriate use of psychiatric medications as part of a holistic approach to mental health treatment. In addition to prescribing medications, I encourage and aid my patients in exploring lifestyle changes, mindset shifts, and behavioral strategies as part of a collaborative approach toward improving the quality of their mental health. I highly recommend patients also partner with a therapist/counselor as part of an evidence-based and multi-faceted approach to improving their overall well-being.
