What should a new client know about working with you?

New clients should know that I take a holistic and patient-centered approach to care. I believe in truly listening and creating a safe, respectful space where you feel heard and understood. My goal is not just to manage symptoms, but to work collaboratively with you to understand the deeper factors contributing to what you’re experiencing. I value transparency, thoughtful discussion, and individualized treatment planning.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My process begins with a thorough and comprehensive assessment. We explore not only your current symptoms, but also psychological, medical, lifestyle, and social stressors that may be impacting your mental health. From there, we develop a personalized treatment plan that may include therapy recommendations, lifestyle adjustments, and when appropriate, medication management. Follow-up visits focus on monitoring progress, making adjustments as needed, and ensuring you feel supported throughout your care.
