What should a new client know about working with you?

New clients can expect a supportive, respectful, and collaborative experience. I take time to understand your concerns, symptoms, history, and treatment goals so we can develop a care plan that feels individualized and realistic for you. My approach is compassionate, evidence-based, and focused on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable asking questions and participating in decisions about your care. When medication is appropriate, I will discuss the potential benefits, risks, alternatives, and what to expect throughout treatment. Mental health care is not one-size-fits-all. My goal is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship, monitor your progress closely, and work together toward greater stability, functioning, and overall well-being.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My typical process begins with a comprehensive initial psychiatric evaluation. During this visit, I take time to learn about your current concerns, symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, medications, lifestyle, stressors, and treatment goals. I may also use evidence-based screening tools when appropriate to help clarify symptoms and support an accurate diagnosis. After the evaluation, we will discuss my clinical impressions and develop an individualized treatment plan together. This may include medication management, lifestyle recommendations, supportive interventions, referrals for psychotherapy, or coordination with other healthcare professionals when needed. Follow-up visits focus on how you are responding to treatment, any side effects or new concerns, changes in symptoms, and progress toward your goals. I incorporate supportive, therapeutic conversation into visits, while my primary focus is psychiatric assessment and medication management. My goal is to make each session collaborative, informative, and centered on what is most helpful for you.
