Get to know me

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

In our first session together, my main focus is to create a comfortable and supportive space where you feel safe sharing what’s on your mind. We’ll take some time to get to know each other, and I’ll ask about your mental health history, what you’re currently dealing with, and what your goals are for treatment. I’m also interested in understanding how things like your medical background, family history, or other life factors may be affecting you. We’ll talk about any past treatments or medications you’ve tried and how they’ve worked for you. This session is really about hearing your story and understanding your experiences, so feel free to share as much as you’re comfortable with. I’m here to listen and answer any questions you have about how I can help. By the end of our session, we’ll start to put together a plan tailored to you. This could include options for medication, therapy, or even changes to your daily routine. We’ll make these decisions together, and I’ll always be here to guide and support you. My goal is for you to feel heard, respected, and confident about the steps we’re going to take next.

Whether it’s finding the right medication regimen or integrating supportive therapy techniques, I focus on what works best for each person. My dedication to shared decision-making means clients can expect a partnership where their voice is heard and valued.
