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

In our first session together, I will begin by gathering information about your medical and mental health history, as well as any current symptoms or concerns you may have. We will also discuss specific symptoms you are experiencing such as mood changes, sleep patterns, appetite or energy levels. I will also inquire about any thoughts or feelings that may be causing distress or interfering with your daily functioning. Based on the information gathered, I will begin formulating a diagnosis and treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This may involve medication management and therapy.
