Are you struggling with anxiety or depression at home, at school, at work or socially? Have you become frustrated with not meeting your goals in these settings because of how you're feeling emotionally? Are you experiencing trouble concentrating or sleeping? Are you hoping to develop new coping strategies that support your lifestyle and functioning? I am able to provide medication management with psychotherapy to treat your symptoms so that you can start to or get back to enjoying your life and meeting your goals.
I'll get to know you; we will talk about your treatment priorities, the symptoms you are struggling with and how they affect your functioning in the areas of your life that matter the most to you. I am accepting adult patients for medication management with psychotherapy and my specialties are mood and anxiety disorders.
You can expect to feel seen and heard as your own treatment priorities and unique experiences are the focus of our visits. You can expect to receive comprehensive assessment and education regarding the diagnosis and your treatment plan. The treatment plan is well-rounded, often incorporating a combination of the latest evidence-based options.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps you to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve emotional well-being. Solution-Focused Psychotherapy centers on your strengths and goals, guiding you to create solutions rather than dwell on problems. Motivational Interviewing strengthens your motivation for change by exploring and resolving mixed feeling about lifestyle changes.
