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

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..

My 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.
