With 19+ years of experience, I‘ve been able to fine-tune my therapeutic approach to help you maximize your potential and alleviate your symptoms.
Together, we’ll find the best medication fit for you and explore possible lifestyle changes to improve your overall wellbeing. I’m a straight-shooter, passionate about helping you see results and feel better about your life!
First session
During our first session, we’ll discuss why you’re seeking mental health services, what your history of mental health care has looked like, and what goals you’re hoping to achieve. As we build rapport, we’ll collaborate on exploring possible treatment options and develop a plan of action.
Strengths
I want every one of my patients to feel understood, heard, and well-supported. Being able to provide a space where you can come as you are, speak your honest truth, and work with me to get you on the right path is my favorite part about treating patients. I’m especially skilled in getting right to the root cause of what may be causing your daily discomfort, so we can get to solutions fairly quickly.
Ideal clients
I love working with patients ages 12 and older from all backgrounds. I enjoy helping clients discover their potential and helping to build their self-esteem and confidence. My patients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their challenges. This is where I can use my expertise to help restore my patients mental health and over all well-being.
Treatment methods
Supportive
I strongly believe in a supportive, patient centered, and collaborative approach to treatment. I offer my patients a warm supportive environment. I have found that this down to earth practical approach to treatment empowers patients to develop mechanisms to support their mental health, which in turn may improve the rest of their life. With my guidance, patients often experience improved self-esteem, better coping skills, and reduced anxiety. I primarily focuses on providing emotional support, encouragement, and validation during difficult life circumstances or psychological challenges. My services may include interventions to encourage patients during crisis or other therapeutic measures that promote positive effects on their overall mental health. This may include coping skills, talk therapy, behavioral changes, and medication management.
