First session
I am currently taking new clients for medication management and talk therapy. In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing and identify the root cause of your challenges. Will take a complete history, mental status exam, and assessment ending with a medical diagnosis. This will help create tailored treatment plan options for us to work through in follow-up sessions, as well as expectations for the patient-provider relationship. The initial consultation takes 60 minutes. We are available on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays).
Strengths
I enjoy working in a team, sharing ideas, and working collectively to deliver the best care possible. I employ a nonjudgmental, empathic, and warm approach to provide evidence-based care in a safe and supportive environment.
Ideal clients
My clients are eager to improve but lack the necessary tools to achieve their goals. They frequently feel trapped and overwhelmed by their circumstances. Depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, sleep problems, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), paranoia, anger management, and addiction disorders are among the conditions I treat. Each patient is given a treatment plan that is tailored to their specific needs and provides the best possible results.
Treatment methods
Integrative
The care provided is person-centered, culturally sensitive, holistic, integrative, and compassionate to assist in improving the quality of life. The diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric conditions can be included in evaluation and management. To rule out general medical causes, laboratory screening procedures are used. We believe that psychotropic medications and psychotherapy are essential in the treatment of mental illness, but we continue to learn about effective non-pharmacological treatments. Where applicable, we may provide consultation on evidence-based integrative therapies, nutritional guidance, and education to our clients.
