What should a new client know about working with you?

**I do not prescribe CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES on the first visit.** New clients can expect a collaborative and individualized approach. I prioritize creating a safe and supportive space where you can share your experiences openly. Together, we’ll identify your goals and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms, improve coping skills, and build resilience. I focus on both immediate concerns and long-term growth, blending structured therapeutic techniques with holistic practices, so you feel empowered, understood, and supported throughout your care.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

During a typical session, I start by understanding your current concerns, medical history, and personal goals. We work together to identify the challenges you’re facing and develop a plan tailored to your needs. Sessions may include talk therapy, skill-building strategies, and, when appropriate, medication management. I prioritize a collaborative approach, so you are actively involved in decisions about your care. Each session is structured to help you feel heard, supported, and equipped with tools to manage symptoms, navigate stress, and work toward your mental health goals.

  • Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
