Everyone’s journey with mental health is not the same, so it’s important to have a personalized treatment plan, to fit each individual’s need.

Care and attention to one’s mental health is as important as their physical health.

Through the use of psychotherapy and psychopharmacology, I believe it is possible to achieve overall wellness. It is essential in my practice to provide a safe space where one can feel open to sharing their true, holistic self without fear of judgment or being misunderstood.
