First session
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you—your concerns, your goals, and what you’d like to improve in your daily life. I’ll ask questions about your symptoms, history, and what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past. This is also a chance for you to ask questions, share what feels most important, and get a sense of my style. Together, we’ll start to build a plan that may include therapy, medication management, or a combination tailored to your needs. My goal is to ensure you leave the first session feeling heard, supported, and clear about next steps.
Strengths
My greatest strengths include a grounded, practical approach and an ability to create a safe, collaborative space where clients feel respected and understood. I focus on clear communication, evidence-based strategies, and thoughtful medication management when appropriate. Clients often share that my balanced approach—both supportive and solution-focused—helps them gain clarity, build resilience, and make progress they can feel in their daily lives.
Ideal clients
My ideal clients are individuals who are motivated to understand themselves more deeply and are ready to work toward meaningful change in their lives. I am best positioned to support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, difficulty with focus, or challenges adjusting to major life transitions. Many of the people I work with are seeking a balanced and collaborative approach—one that includes both therapeutic support and the option of medication when appropriate. I specialize in medication management to help address these concerns, and I work closely with clients to ensure treatment plans are personalized, thoughtful, and aligned with their goals. Whether someone is exploring medication for the first time or wanting to optimize their current regimen, I aim to create a safe and supportive space where they feel informed and empowered in their care.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
In my practice, I frequently use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a core therapeutic approach for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress-related symptoms, and difficulty with emotional regulation. My experience with ACT centers on helping patients build psychological flexibility—the ability to remain present and engaged in meaningful action even in the presence of uncomfortable thoughts or emotions.
