During our first visit I want to get to know you, to assist you on a journey to achieve optimal wellness. I will be an attentive listener, provide an empathic therapeutic approach by partnering with you to achieve your ultimate lifetime goals. I am a strong advocate for mental health and will assist you to navigate the healthcare system that can be confusing at times.
I utilize the recovery model to normalize mental health and eradicate any negative stigmas. A wide array of treatment modalities will be utilized such as supportive therapy, psychopharmacology, and integrating other complementary and alternative treatment modalities in your wellness plan.
