Hello! Welcome to the beginning of your health journey to improve your emotional and mental wellbeing. I am here to help you achieve your mental health wellness goals. I believe that medication management and psychotherapy are not one-size-fits-all. Medication needs are influenced not only by diagnosis and symptoms, but also by genetics, sensitivities, metabolism, & your core beliefs. I will provide you with therapeutic tools and challenge you to grow, while balancing this with warmth, compassion, and acceptance. Clients primarily seek medication management services, but some prefer ongoing psychotherapy visits.
My approach is open-minded, accepting, informative, solution-focused, and catered specifically to you. Collaboration with your therapist & medical providers is key to ensure the safest and most comprehensive care plan. Labs, diagnostic tests, & referrals may occur, depending on your specific treatment needs.
My life's purpose is helping people by providing psychiatric care. Understanding who you are and what YOU value is important to me. Previous clients have stated, "I feel seen," and "you have helped me more than any other provider." It is my goal that you feel heard, seen, & accepted. Let's work together to develop a plan of care to meet your goals!
