Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In the first psychiatric evaluation, clients can expect a thorough assessment of their mental health, which is aimed at understanding their current challenges, history, and overall well-being. We will review past history, past treatments, current treatments, psychological stressors, and their goals for their treatment. Throughout the evaluation, clients can expect a confidential, respectful environment where their feelings and experiences are validated.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Greatest strength as a Psychiatric Provider are: Empathy and Compassion: I create safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and understood, helping to build trust and openness. Active Listening: Being able to truly listen to clients, understand their concerns, and reflect on their feelings. Clinical Expertise: I posses deep knowledge in mental health diagnoses, treatment options (such as medications, therapy, and interventions), and the latest research. Collaboration and Flexibility: I collaborates with all of my clients, respecting their autonomy while guiding them through the treatment process. I am open to modifying treatment plans as necessary, ensuring that care is tailored to the client’s preferences and progress. Psychoeducation: I am highly effective at explaining complex psychiatric concepts, treatment options, and potential outcomes to clients in a way that’s clear and supportive. Cultural Competence: I understand and respect cultural differences, values, beliefs, and practices, and ensures that treatments and recommendations align with the client’s cultural background and worldview.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with young professionals who are in the first few years of their careers. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their careers.
