First session
During your first session, we'll focus on establishing a solid foundation for our therapeutic journey together. Expect to spend about 60 minutes exploring your psychiatric, mental health, medical, and social backgrounds. We'll work at a pace that feels comfortable for you, ensuring that sensitive topics are approached with care. Your openness will play a crucial role in shaping a personalized treatment plan to address your specific needs and goals to work through in follow-up sessions..

Ideal clients
I specialize in helping clients aged 12 and older with a wide range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, and psychotic disorders. I excel at providing personalized treatment plans for those with acute or chronic symptoms, ensuring they receive the support and care they need to improve their well-being. My goal is to create a supportive and empathetic environment where clients feel empowered to take charge of their mental health journey.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I extensively use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a highly effective approach, in conjunction with medication management, to help patients address negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to their mental health challenges. By collaboratively identifying and modifying these patterns, patients can better manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other conditions. I tailor CBT techniques such as cognitive restructuring and behavioral activation to each patient's unique needs, empowering them to actively participate in their treatment and achieve sustainable improvements in their overall well-being.
