Great to meet you! I am a USAF veteran with over 22 yrs of experience in the healthcare field. I feel that Psychiatry is definitely my calling as I put 100% effort into my clients, making sure they receive the best care possible. I have the best clients ever because we work as a team. My clients tell me they feel heard, they can tell I truly care, and that mental health is definitely my calling. Are you ready to feel better? Sometimes you must do something different, to get something different, so let's do this!

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

In our first introduction, we will complete a full health history, to include family history, as this plays a significant role in assessment/treatment. Then we dive into the reason the client is seeking Psychiatric treatment.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

My goal is to develop a safe and effective treatment plan that contributes to getting my clients on the right path to mental stability. I am a medication manager, but I also believe that other factors, such as psychotherapeutic intervention is also a very important tool to help clients reach their goals.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I feel my strengths are that I sincerely care about my patients and I'm an educator. My patients know after the first visit, that they have found a rare gem. I take time (yes I give them time) to hear my patients, not just listen. My patients stay because they learn about their disorder, and medications, which I firmly believe is the key to trust and treatment compliance, is giving them knowledge and great care. My patients tell me they feel more confident about taking medications, or seeking psychotherapeutic intervention, or both because they are able to contribute to the development of a personalized treatment plan that they can trust. I love to teach so I ensure my patients leave every visit fully understanding of their diagnosis and treatment plan. My clients express their appreciation regarding these qualities. Contact me and see for yourself!
