Hello! I am dedicated to helping you navigate the challenges you face and supporting you in reaching your goals. Some of my specialties include attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, OCD, and PTSD. I prioritize creating personalized treatment plans that incorporate medication management, thorough assessments, and ongoing support. My approach emphasizes open communication and collaboration, ensuring you feel heard and empowered throughout your treatment journey. I look forward to working with you! IMPORTANT: In order to provide the best possible care, it's important that we have your intake forms and assessments completed before our first appointment. This information helps me understand your unique situation and allows us to make the most of our time together.

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

In your first session with me, you can expect a friendly and supportive environment where we can begin to explore your mental health needs. We’ll start with an in-depth discussion about your current concerns, medical history, and any relevant background information. This helps me understand your unique situation and how it may be impacting your well-being. I’ll also gather information through assessments to get a clearer picture of your symptoms and experiences. Together, we’ll talk about your goals for treatment and any questions you may have regarding medications or other therapeutic options. Throughout the session, I prioritize open communication, so please feel free to express any concerns or ask questions. My goal is to ensure you feel comfortable and supported as we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. By the end of our session, we’ll have a solid foundation to move forward in your care. I look forward to working with you!

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

My greatest strengths lie in my ability to understand the underlying factors that contribute to mental health challenges. I believe that by getting to know your unique story, we can create personalized treatment plans that include effective medication management. I truly prioritize open and compassionate communication, ensuring that you feel comfortable and supported every step of the way on your journey to better mental health.

My treatment methods

Supportive

I focus on providing emotional support, reassurance, and guidance to patients dealing with various mental health challenges. The goal is to help you feel understood, validated, and empowered to cope with your difficulties. In practice, I begin by building a strong therapeutic relationship, which is essential for effective support. This involves: Active Listening: Creating a safe space for you to express your thoughts and feelings without judgment. This helps you feel heard and understood. Validation: Acknowledging your emotions and experiences, which can help reduce feelings of isolation or self-doubt. Encouragement: Helping you identify your strengths and coping strategies, fostering a sense of agency and resilience. Regular Check-Ins: Monitoring progress and providing ongoing support as you navigate your mental health journey.
