What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we will complete an intake screening and gather your history. At conclusion of our first session, we will decide on a customized treatment plan collaboratively. My goal is for you to leave our first session & subsequent appts, hopeful and empowered.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am very down-to-earth and many of my patients report that they have never felt so comfortable with a provider aside from myself. Patience, trust and communication are the key to success.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy working with patient's of all different backgrounds to help alleviate symptoms and improve one's quality of life. I combine med management and support with some holistic approaches.

My treatment methods

Supportive

As a med management provider, I also provide support to all my patients. The combination of med management and support therapy is the recipe for success when treating my patient's needs.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use CBT techniques often for cognitive distortions to help patient's reflect and reframe their thought processes.

Motivational Interviewing

I use Motivational Interviewing (MI) as it is very effective in positive behavioral changes, such as addiction.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

When treating my patients, I use the evidence-based therapeutic approach solution-focused modality, to provide therapeutic relief to accomplish one's goals and needs.
