I work with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, mood instability, ADHD, and substance use. During our initial sessions, we take time to fully understand your experiences, identify underlying patterns, and develop a plan. Most patients begin to notice improvements in mood, focus, sleep, and overall functioning within the first few weeks, with continued progress over time.
