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

In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, and then continue into the specific challenges you are facing. This will help me deliver a personalized plan that we are able to work through in follow up sessions.

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

I have been working with patients for over 10 years in a variety of settings. I started my career in the OB/GYN field, and therefore, have additional training in the nuances of women's psychiatry. I am empathetic, caring, and a god listener. I believe in evidence-based practice and frequently complete continuing education in the field.
