You can call me Josie, I have been a psychiatric provider for 6 years. I have work closely with mental health patients in outpatient and inpatient settings, collaborating with a team to find a treatment plan that works best for their needs. I provide comprehensive care for a wide range of conditions, including mood, personality, and anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, substance abuse, and gertiatric-related conditions. My goal is to help every individual live a productive and happy life.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I believe in the power of developing strong communication and relationships from our first session. I provide a safe, open, and nonjudgemental space for patients to share their concerns. I spend time getting to know my patients and offer non-pharmacological and pharmacological solutions to overcome their challenges. I ensure that my patients will get the adequate care you need for improved well-being.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am astute at sensing what my patients are thinking and feeling. In relating to my patients, I show warmth and acceptance, empathy, and a focus on them through effective communication.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with patient that are trying to figure out why they are expressing different mood, personality changes and eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make such a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, depressed, anxious and moody.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

During CBT, I help my patients take a close look at their thoughts and emotions. They will come to understand how their thoughts affect their actions. Through CBT, my patients can unlearn negative thoughts and behaviors and learn to adopt healthier thinking patterns and habits.

Biofeedback

This is an alternative medicine approach that teaches my patients to change the way their body functions. It’s a mind-body therapy that improves my patients physical and mental health.

Talking to Dr. Josie always feels so inviting, comfortable, caring, and authentic. This woman hears you and sees you for who you are. And that alone opens so many doors already. I am very grateful to have found her.

Josie has been a light in very very dark times. She is incredibly knowledgeable and intelligent. I couldn’t say enough good things about her. I’ve been under her care for a little over 2 years and without her i’d be at rock bottom. Wonderful and most amazing psychiatrist.
