I work closely with my clients to develop individualized care plans that combine medication management and therapeutic approaches. My goal is to empower clients by helping them better understand their mental health conditions and supporting them throughout their journey to achieve overall wellness.

Get to know me

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

In our first session, we will take time to get to know each other and establish a foundation for your care. I’ll conduct a thorough assessment of your mental health history, current symptoms, and any challenges you’re facing. Together, we’ll discuss your treatment goals, and I’ll explain how we can create a personalized care plan, which may include medication management, therapy, or other strategies. This session is a safe, non-judgmental space for you to share your concerns, and I am here to listen, support, and guide you on your journey to better mental health.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a provider, my greatest strengths lie in my ability to create a compassionate and non-judgmental environment where clients feel safe to share their challenges. I take a holistic and individualized approach to care, ensuring that each treatment plan is tailored to the unique needs of my clients. My expertise in managing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and schizophrenia across different diagnoses and throughout the lifespan allows me to combine evidence-based treatments with a strong focus on client education and empowerment. I am dedicated to building strong therapeutic relationships and helping clients achieve long-term mental wellness.

I offer a compassionate, evidence-based approach to help you gain clarity, manage symptoms, and build a path toward mental wellness and success. Together, we will work on developing practical strategies that empower you to overcome obstacles and thrive in both your personal and professional life.
