You know something is wrong, but you're not quite sure what to do, or where to start? You are in the right place! Lets sit down and talk so we can hone in on what the issues are, and discuss treatment options that will work for you. I educate clients and develop treatment plans to treat their mental health concerns. I help clients with medication management,perform screenings and evaluations for mental health issues and diagnose psychiatric illnesses. I can also refer clients for non traditional treatments like TMS, ketamine, or ECT if appropriate. I work with clients to develop customized treatment plans using an evidence based and holistic approach. My specialties include treating anxiety, depression , ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ocd, autism, mood disorders, schizophrenia, psychosis disorders substance addiction, & alcohol addiction.
Our first session will be focused on identifying what symptoms or behaviors, are interfering with your work, relationships, or overall functioning. We will discuss a variety of topics including but not limited to; family history of physical and psychiatric illness, personal history of physical and psychiatric history, social & academic development, current and past support systems, work and home environment, relationship supports & stressors.
I love what I do! I rely on a combination of education, clinical, and real life experience to guide my treatment recommendations. I can relate to many of the situations my clients are facing; feeling overwhelmed with responsibilities, parenting, relationship difficulties, struggling with life changes, grief, illness, trauma...Ive been there too. Every client is unique, and I believe that taking the time to understand and each client's situation is a fundamental component to developing an effective treatment plan.
My goal is to offer practical, sustainable, and effective treatment options for clients struggling with anxiety, depression, or addiction disorders. My clients often "don't know where to start" or are "unsure" how to identify why they are struggling or what treatments are available. I also very much enjoy and have extensive experience working with First responders, Veterans, and Medical professionals.
Supportive
I use a client centered approach, that promotes patient autonomy. Treatment is tailored to address each clients specific goals, difficulties, and preferences. Treatment includes education, and I am here to address any questions / concerns you may have. My promise to you You will never leave my office confused about what your medication does and why you are taking it.
