What should a new client know about working with you?
My style is calm and built around you, not a script. You always have a say in your treatment instead of being handed a plan you never agreed to. I draw from CBT and trauma-informed care, with a supportive style underneath all of it, and I adjust based on your background and what your day to day actually looks like. I keep things warm and real while still holding the boundaries that make good care work. I work with adults and adolescents, and I want every one of them to feel heard, not judged.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our first session is low-pressure and mostly you telling your story while I listen. You don't need to have anything figured out before you get here. We start with a thorough psychiatric evaluation, talk through what brought you in and what you'd like to be different, then begin shaping a plan together. We move through your symptoms and history at a pace that feels comfortable, and I keep communication clear so you understand any diagnosis and the medication or therapy options in front of you. Treatment usually takes a little time and some fine-tuning, and that's completely normal. My goal is for you to leave feeling like you finally found someone in your corner
