What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we go over general medical information and then discuss more specifics. The goal is to get a complete history so that we can establish our client provider relationship and I may help you on your journey.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and medication management to help you maintain a healthy whole-self.
