Over 10+ yrs experience in public service (911 dispatcher) and healthcare (ICU nurse). Are you struggling with a depressed mood, anxiety, insomnia, or nightmares? Has your therapist recommended medication? Are you worried about side effects or being on medications forever? I can help you answer these questions. I provide conservative medication management and supportive psychotherapy. I can also help patients STOP medication.
People often feel anxious with the idea of taking medicine to improve mental health, and that's OK! I am not a 'pill pusher.' I take the time to learn about my client's problems, goals, and fears. Then, we work together to create a realistic, evidence-based treatment plan, which may or may not include medicine. My clients have control over their care.
My practice philosophy combines cognitive-behavioral therapies, ancient and medieval philosophies, the spiritual traditions of the Catholic Faith, and Frankl's logotherapy to emphasize perpetual optimism, hope, and meaning.
