What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I value the importance of building a strong therapeutic alliance, which forms the foundation for successful outcomes and long-term mental well-being. My goal at every patient encounter is to create a safe, non-judgmental, and therapeutic environment that supports open dialogue and active participation. After the first encounter with a patient, I expect the patient to gain a proper and clear understanding of his or her mental health concerns, the treatment options available and the available resources. I do understand that there is no one-size-fits-all treatment modality, hence, I deliver individualized, holistic care, combining evidence-based therapeutic interventions, medication management, and psychotherapy. I will also provide ongoing support and counseling to the patient.
