I have over 2o years of experience in the field and enjoy providing client centered care to individuals of all ages.
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions and sharing history and background about your current life stressors. We will use this information to collaborate and create an individualized treatment plan for subsequent sessions in order to help you work to attain your therapeutic goals.
I am a compassionate and skilled psychologist with specialized experience in Depression, Anxiety, Substance Abuse, and Crisis Management. I will use my knowledge and experience to tailor our sessions based on your personal needs.
