I have a nonprofit organization with the primary goal of helping individuals in less developed countries eat and obtain their education. I have thought Mental Health at Universities and enjoyed teaching part-time to keep my knowledge fresh. We are accepting new patients.
During our first session you and I will work together to come up with a plan of care that is suitable for your individual needs. We will screen you for all mental illnesses before drawing a conclusion on treatment choices. Please bring all medication bottles to your first session.
I am passionate about making sure my clients feel heard. I want my patients to leave their appointments knowing that their provider cares about their progress and their overall health and happiness. I serve clients of all ages and have a special interest in kids, adolescents, young and older adults with anxiety, depression, panic disorders, ADHD, and trauma. My favorite motto is, "be somebody who makes everybody feel like a somebody."

Supportive psychotherapy remains a foundational skill in my therapeutic toolbox. Its emphasis on empathy, collaboration, and practical support aligns well with patient-centered care. I combine supportive therapy with pharmacologic treatment to help them navigate day-to-day challenges and adhere to care.
This approach makes patients feel respected and understood, so they open up to the provider; the provider can interpret symptoms more accurately to avoid misdiagnoses.
This approach helps providers to ask appropriate questions so that patients can answer questions appropriately
