What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In your first session with me, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where we will discuss your mental health history, current concerns, and goals for treatment. We'll complete a comprehensive assessment to understand your unique needs and develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include medication management and supportive therapies like CBT and DBT. This session is an opportunity for you to share your story, ask questions, and begin building a trusting therapeutic relationship.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths as a provider are my extensive experience and integrative treatment methods. With a deep understanding of various mental health challenges gained through personal and professional experiences, I am dedicated to offering tailored care. My expertise in medication management and therapies like CBT and DBT allows me to provide comprehensive support that addresses the holistic well-being of each individual.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I serve adolescent and adult clients who are seeking mental health care.
