Get to know me

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

In our first session we will take time to discuss your concerns, personal history, and overall mental health. I'll ask questions about your symptoms, life style and goals of treatment. I will assign diagnosis and we will discuss treatment.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

With extensive experience in all levels of care including detox, residential and outpatient settings I have treated complex mental health conditions. I am compassionate and have a patient centered approach.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal client is someone who is ready to engage in their mental health journey with openness and a willingness to grow. They are looking for an approach that combines both medical treatment and emotional support. I am trained and have experience from working in the residential setting with medication management. I do not prescribe benzodiazepines for long-term use and if I do feel it is necessary, it's short-term (less than two weeks), and on a case-by-case basis. . These are medications like Ativan, Xanax, Klonopin, or Valium. If this is something you are wanting or feel you need to continue, another provider may be able to meet your needs.

My treatment methods

Supportive

In my psychiatric practice, treatment often begins with thoughtful medication management to help reduce symptoms, stabilize mood, and support overall mental health. In addition to medication, I provide supportive therapy in a safe compassionate environment where we work together to strengthen coping skills, process challenges, and build on your personal strengths. The goal is to help you feel more balanced and empowered in your daily life.
