What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I take time to listen, understand your concerns, and explore how your symptoms affect your daily life. Together, we will develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medication management, supportive counseling, and practical strategies to support your mental health. During your first visit, we will review your symptoms, health history, previous treatment, and goals. I will explain treatment options, answer your questions, and involve you in decisions about your care. My goal is for you to feel heard, respected, and supported as we work toward greater stability and well-being.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our first session is an opportunity for me to get to know you beyond your symptoms. We’ll discuss what brought you to care, your mental and physical health history, previous treatments, and how you’re managing daily life. Together, we’ll identify your goals and develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include medication, supportive strategies, and recommendations for therapy. During follow-up visits, we’ll review how you’re feeling, discuss progress and any medication concerns, and adjust your plan as needed. My goal is for you to feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your care every step of the way.
