What should a new client know about working with you?

I offer a supportive, structured, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable discussing your mental health concerns. I take a collaborative and straightforward approach, combining clinical expertise with clear communication and education so you understand your treatment options. Together, we build a plan that aligns with your goals and supports both immediate relief and long-term stability.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I begin with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation via telehealth to understand your symptoms, history, and treatment goals. From there, I develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medication management and supportive therapeutic strategies. Follow-up visits focus on tracking progress, adjusting medications when needed, and reinforcing coping tools to support sustained improvement.
