You must complete our Prescreen and Consent forms to get started with our services. Do you suffer from depression, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, or feelings of distress without knowing why? I specialize in providing individualized care by promoting self-awareness, implementing lifestyle adjustments, and offering medication management (if needed). I strive for optimal health by asking about your mental health history, lifestyle, habits, and goals. With over 15 years in the nursing profession, my experience allows me to actively listen to your story and take a collaborative approach to develop a specialized treatment plan. By addressing your mental health holistically, I will work to achieve your goal of living an emotionally and physically balanced lifestyle. My goal is to discover the root of the issue by considering your multidimensional aspects. With personalized care, I am confident that your overall mental well-being will be restored, and you will attain the life you deserve with mental balance.

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

Get ready for a heart-to-heart during our first session? I aim to understanding your emotional and mental well-being. Picture a cozy, judgement-free and supportive environment where you can freely share your experiences, symptoms of concerns, and challenges you're facing.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I am dedicated to personalizing care by employing reliable assessment and diagnostic tools commonly used by mental health and behavioral health professionals. My approach begins with a comprehensive initial evaluation, encompassing a thorough review of psychiatric, medical, and lifestyle factors. This includes requesting vital signs and medical records, and, if necessary, collaborating with the patient's Primary Care Physician (PCP) or specialist, always with the patient's consent. Furthermore, I conduct assessments of everyday wellness and to optimize treatment, I may also recommend Pharmacogenetic (PGx) Testing.

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

My strength is helping you make that transformation to living a better-balanced lifestyle. As your provider, I consider environmental, childhood experiences, lifestyle habits, and dietary factors that could impact your mental and physical health. I prefer a holistic health approach, including natural, non-invasive, and safe methods. Although I am not a nutritionist, I often emphasize the connection between nutrition and mental health. I explore the whole person and look for underlying causes to help manage mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, mood disorders, and executive dysfunction disorders. Furthermore, I emphasize the importance of having a positive attitude and suggest supportive protocols that may include regular exercise, balanced nutrition, mindful eating, and nutritional support.
