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

During our initial session, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my patients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter. It's important to remember that this is a collaborative process, and I encourage you to ask questions or express any concerns you may have. At the end of our session, we will discuss follow up treatment and future appointments.

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

Holistic treatments and medication management are crucial. I take the whole person into account. --their life story, lived environment and personal goals. I utilize patient-centered care to complete a comprehensive assessment and to develop an appropriate treatment plan. I want my patients to feel valued and heard. We will work together to find solutions to best meet your needs and overall quality of life.

My treatment methods

Supportive

I encourage my patients to talk about their feelings, concerns, and problems in a nonjudgemental environment, through the use of supportive therapy. Supportive therapy is a type of therapy that primarily focuses on providing emotional support, encouragement, and validation during difficult life circumstances or psychological challenges.
