First session
My first session with you will serve as a foundation for building a therapeutic relationship and creating a tailored treatment plan to address your mental health needs including applicable medication management. My goal is to help you achieve mental wellness and improve your quality of life. Whether you are dealing with chronic mental health issues or experiencing new challenges, I am here to support you every step of the way.
Strengths
I offer empathetic, compassionate care and strive to connect with my clients, listen actively to their concerns, and create a safe, nonjudgmental environment that fosters trust.
Ideal clients
I utilize a combination of psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, and holistic approaches to treat a wide range of mental health conditions with focus on adults with depression, anxiety and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).
Treatment methods
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a type of therapy that focuses on finding solutions to your problems rather than delving deeply into their causes or past experiences. It is future-focused, goal-oriented, and aims to help you discover your strengths and resources to create positive change in your life.
Supportive
My approach to supportive behavioral treatment combines supportive psychotherapy, behavioral interventions, psychoeducation, and medication management when appropriate. The goal is to help patients improve coping, emotional regulation, daily functioning, and symptom management while strengthening their ability to handle current stressors.
