First session
Our first session will take some time. The first session usually lasts about an hour. That may seem like a long time, but there is a lot of information to cover. We talk about what your current concerns are, family history, medical history, and what has and has not worked in the past for you.
Strengths
Working with patients for over ten years, I've learned how to listen. Listening and getting the whole story helps make sure we are heading in the right direction so you can get the care you need.
Ideal clients
Clients I am best positioned to serve? Everyone. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, things you dont understand, or worry you are on the wrong medications, I can help you. I can also help you feel confident that your plan of care is right for you. At this time, I am unable to treat ADHD if you need a stimulant. What I can do to help is prescribe a non-stimulant or I can refer you to another provider that I know can help you.
Treatment methods
Trauma-Informed Care
My experience utilizing trauma informed care, you expect everyone is going through something and you never know what that could be. In order to provide competent care, you have to anticipate that your own manners and behaviors can affect the patient in a negative way. Understanding this from the very beginning, I am able to be compassionate, establish a therapeutic relationship with the patient, and together we can work towards recovery.
Psychodynamic
You ever feel sad or anxious and wonder where those emotions are coming from because you cant identify the cause or any triggers? Using psychodynamic theory, the provider analyzes the patients past and current behaviors in order to understand what is causing current symptoms. We can then work through it together so you dont have to carry that inner struggle around with you any more.
