What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will start with an assessment interview then together create a tailored treatment plan to best fit your needs!

My focus is on integrative wellness, emphasizing the importance of interventions in sleep, nutrition, and other holistic modalities side by side with psychotropic medication paired with brief therapy interventions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My focus is on the treatment of mood disorders, psychotic disorders, substance abuse and chronic mental illness through psychiatric assessment, medication management and brief psychotherapeutic intervention for adult clients ages 18-65.
