I specialize in supporting young adults, women, and mothers navigating depression, anxiety, and burnout improve their mood, reduce anxiety, feel energized, and thrive in both their personal and professional relationships through an integrative treatment modality.

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

The first session is learning about you, your current challenges, and the underlying factors contributing to these challenges. We will dive into your health history, social networks, and family background, among other relevant factors. At the conclusion of the session, we will review any diagnoses and collaboratively devise an initial treatment plan that takes into account your preferences and priorities.

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

Drawing from my professional expertise as a nurse practitioner and my personal experience as a young adult, mother, and woman, I have developed a holistic approach to patient care. Through my own experiences, I have come to appreciate the significance of empathy, compassion, and culturally sensitive practices in guiding individuals along their health journey.

My treatment methods

Integrative

I support individuals live their best life and alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, burnout, and related conditions through an integrative holistic treatment approach. This includes a comprehensive assessment, evidence-based medication management, incorporation of nutraceuticals, lifestyle adjustments, psychoeducation, and various psychotherapeutic interventions. By integrating these modalities, we treat the whole person, empowering you to achieve lasting improvement in mental well-being.

Supportive

I integrate supportive therapy as a fundamental tool to help you navigate challenging issues and emotions. Through compassionate listening and validation, I aim to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, feel understood, and feel supported. I help you develop coping strategies and cultivate resilience. We work together to identify your strengths, build self-awareness, and foster personal growth to promote your mental well being.

Psychoeducation

Psychoeducation plays a crucial role in empowering individuals to better understand their health and treatment options. Through tailored education and informative discussions, I provide you with greater insight into your condition(s), including its causes, and potential management strategies. Having a deeper understanding empowers you to actively participate in your treatment journey, make informed decisions, and implement effective coping mechanisms.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational interviewing is a powerful tool used to promote motivation, increase self-efficacy, and facilitate sustainable progress. I use motivational interviewing during sessions as a collaborative and client-centered approach to facilitate positive behavioral change. Through empathetic listening and open-ended questioning, I work with you to explore your uncertainty about change, and uncover your inherent motivations for growth. I empower you to identify your values, strengths, and goals, and to develop a personalized plan for change in order to live a healthier and happier life.
