We want to be the best person we can be yet we have all experienced how our way of doing things can work against us. Behaviors we learned early become automatic. We do not notice how expecting failure brings failure, how expecting rejection brings rejection, how avoidance of sadness brings sadness, or how avoidance of anger brings more anger. Even when we see these connections, that is not enough to change them. It often is not until these patterns are experienced within the safety of a therapy relationship and one uses that place to practice new ways of relating that these patterns can be changed. To understand as a psychiatrist what makes an individual operate and experience things the way he or she does I look at how each person's experiences and development and inherited disposition contribute to the way that that person experiences life. The unique ability that I bring to this process is as both a physician and a psychotherapist. I am able to assess and address not only learned aspects of behavior but also the roles that biology, genetics, and medical issues play in an individual's experience, and to consider medication options.
