Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

You can expect a structured but conversational assessment focused on understanding your current symptoms, relevant history, and treatment goals. I’ll ask about your mental health background, medical history, current functioning, and any previous experiences with medications or therapy. We’ll discuss whether you’re seeking medication management, therapy, or both, and I’ll explain evidence-based options that may fit your needs. I’ll also review any safety concerns, lifestyle factors, and integrative considerations such as sleep, stress, or supplement use if relevant. By the end of the session, we’ll outline initial treatment recommendations and discuss next steps. My aim is for you to leave with a clear sense of how we can move forward — collaboratively and with a plan that feels clinically sound and tailored to you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I bring a strong balance of clinical precision and human connection. I’m skilled at recognizing nuanced patterns in mood, attention, and anxiety that may be overlooked in rushed or fragmented care. I take time to understand the whole picture — not just symptoms, but context. Clients often tell me they feel deeply seen and never judged. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and collaborate on treatment plans that are both evidence-based and personalized. I also draw on integrative tools when appropriate — like nutrition, sleep, and nervous system regulation — to support long-term wellbeing, not just symptom relief. Consistency, honesty, and respect for each individual’s process are at the heart of how I work. One of my strengths is creating a space where people feel comfortable, heard, and valued. I genuinely care about the people I work with and approach every session with curiosity, respect, and openness. You don’t need to know what “kind” of help you need—I’ll guide the process and offer suggestions as we go. I’m both easy to talk to and direct when it matters. I’ll be honest with you about what treatment options might be helpful, whether that’s therapy, medication, or a combination of both. I want you to feel informed, empowered, and fully supported on both the emotional and medical side of your care. By the end of our first session, you’ll have a clearer sense of what’s going on, what your options are, and what the next steps could look like. You’ll never be alone in figuring it out.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with people who tend to carry a lot — quietly, and often for too long. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, scattered, or emotionally exhausted on the inside. Some are navigating big transitions — like becoming a parent, facing health issues, or reevaluating their work and relationships. Others are finally ready to look at patterns that aren’t working anymore. You might be feeling anxious, burned out, easily overstimulated, or unsure whether what you're experiencing even “counts” as something worth treating. You don’t need a perfect explanation or a clear diagnosis to reach out — we can start with whatever you’re holding right now. I especially enjoy helping people untangle overlapping issues like anxiety and ADHD, trauma and perfectionism, or mood challenges that don’t fit neatly in a box. If you’ve ever felt rushed, dismissed, or told you were “fine” when you weren’t — I’d like to offer something better. My style is honest, curious, and collaborative. No lectures, no cookie-cutter plans. Just a space where we figure things out together, at your pace.
