My approach focuses on truly understanding my patients' mental health needs and working together to help them lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. help young adults struggling with career stress and burnout become the best versions of themselves.

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

In our first session, we'll begin with brief introductions and then explore the specific challenges you're experiencing. This approach allows me to understand your needs and develop a personalized plan for us to work on together in future sessions, ensuring that our work is targeted and effective in helping you achieve your mental health goals.

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

With over 15 years of experience, I’ve developed a trusted method to help people understand what’s causing their mental health struggles and create personalized plans to feel better.

I also check in regularly to make sure the plan is working and make any needed adjustments, so my clients can lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.

I love working with adolescents and adults who are striving to improve their mental health but may not yet have the tools to make it a reality. My clients often feel stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious about various aspects of their lives, whether it's managing emotions, navigating relationships, or coping with life’s challenges. They are motivated to create positive change, and I’m here to guide them in developing the skills and strategies they need to move forward and achieve a healthier, more fulfilling life.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I treat anxiety using a comprehensive approach that combines medication, therapy, and lifestyle interventions tailored to each patient’s unique needs. The treatment plan is guided by the individual’s symptoms, severity, and overall health, ensuring a personalized and effective strategy. I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which I have found to be one of the most effective therapies for anxiety. It helps patients identify and challenge negative thought patterns while developing practical coping skills. For many of my patients, a combination of medication and therapy has proven to yield the best results, allowing for a more holistic approach to managing anxiety. Regular follow-ups are essential to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments, ensuring that treatment remains effective and aligned with the patient’s evolving needs.
