Does ADHD, anxiety or depression affect your quality of life? Is it difficult to complete everyday tasks? Have you gained weight due to emotional eating or psychiatric medications? I empower clients to address the underlying issues contributing to their mental health challenges by utilizing individualized treatment plans. Personalized treatment plans include medication options, education, emotional support, and empathy. Actively participating in treatment plans allows clients to make informed decisions about their well-being. Learning stress management techniques and self-care practices are tools utilized by my practice to help you achieve and maintain mental wellness. Emotional support, validation of experiences, and guidance during difficult times can significantly improve your overall well-being and quality of life. Developing strategies such as stress management and self-care practices plays an integral part in improving your quality of life, enhancing relationships, increasing productivity and fostering a sense of well-being and fulfillment. Whether you are dealing with weight gain, cycles of anxiety and depression, ADHD symptoms, relationship issues, or feeling overwhelmed, I'm here to help. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to express their thoughts and emotions. Let's work together to improve your mental health!

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

During our first session, we will begin developing our therapeutic relationship and building trust. We will discuss your medical and psychiatric histories and begin developing a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Treatment plans may include medications, therapy, and education. Your response to treatment will be assessed at every visit and changes made to your treatment plan as needed.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

The treatment methods I utilize include medications, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and psychoeducation.

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

My biggest strengths include developing therapeutic relationships with my clients, providing emotional support and empathy, compassionate listening, and developing personalized treatment plans to help my clients live their best lives! I also specialize in weight gain/loss associated with psychiatric illness or medications.
