About My Clients
I provide psychiatric services to adults. Many of my patients are younger adults with non-traditional backgrounds. Having lived in three continents, I am particularly sensitive to diversity in culture and self-identity, including with respect to race, gender and sexuality. Thanks to tele-medicine, my practice can treat anyone located in the following states: apraku.com/locations.
My Background and Approach
Common psychiatric issues for which I routinely offer advice and treatment include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder. Other mental health concerns include life transitions, attention difficulties, mood swings, anger, traumatic events and problematic eating. Before starting in private practice, I served as Chief Resident of adult psychiatry at Drexel University College of Medicine, where I also completed my residency training. I hold an M.D. degree from Ross University and a B.Sc. degree from the University of Virginia.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Psychiatry is an art as well as a science. To be effective, it requires a relationship between patient and provider founded on trust and mutual understanding. My goal is to build long-lasting relationships to get your mental health as good as it can be. To that aim, my practice offers a culturally sensitive environment with no-rush appointments that emphasize patient education. Thanks to tele-medicine, all of my appointments take place at a time and location that's convenient for you.
