What is your typical process for working with clients?
Initial Evaluation (First Appointment)
Your first session is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation where we’ll explore your mental health history, current concerns, lifestyle, and goals. I take the time to understand your unique experiences and assess the biological, psychological, and environmental factors contributing to your symptoms. Together, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medication management, lifestyle recommendations, or referrals for therapy.
Ongoing Treatment (Follow-Up Appointments)
During follow-up sessions, we will:
Review your progress and address any questions or side effects.
Adjust medications as needed to ensure the best results with minimal side effects.
Discuss practical coping strategies and lifestyle habits that support lasting mental wellness.
Work collaboratively to keep your treatment plan aligned with your goals and values.
Collaborative & Supportive Approach
I believe in a patient-centered, collaborative process—your voice and input are essential. My goal is to provide clear communication, compassionate support, and evidence-based care in a non-judgmental environment. While I specialize in medication management, I also emphasize the importance of therapy, self-care, and lifestyle balance for a holistic approach to mental health.
Each session is designed to provide clarity, support, and a clear path forward—let’s work together to help you feel your best.

I felt listened to & I loved that she informed me on options & side effects as we discussed further treatment. Always asked for my opinion and was very respectful. Will be seeing her again ??
January 24, 2026Daiana B.Verified patientVideo visit
I felt she was very knowledgeable and had a kind demeanor, I was worried about meeting a new doctor but was put at ease relatively quickly. I felt like I was heard, and my concerns were addressed even when I had problems verbalizing them she was very patient. As a person who has seen a million therapists in a million states, I would say this is one that does mental health work because she enjoys helping people, rather than doctors who simply work for a paycheck, and that is rare to find.

My experience was excellent from start to finish. The provider was compassionate, thorough, and really took the time to listen and understand my concerns. They explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable discussing personal topics. I appreciated how collaborative the process felt — I left the appointment feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about my treatment plan.

Overall my appointment was satisfactory and accomplished what it needed to. I wish they asked more questions though, they didn't and I don't feel like they got the most clear picture. I also left the appointment feeling bad about myself and disappointed. I felt hopeless and like this person can't help me.
