What should a new client know about working with you?

Veterans can expect a comprehensive evaluation that includes discussing their medical and psychiatric history, current symptoms, and overall health. I will assess the client's needs and collaboratively develop an individualized treatment plan.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

During your first appointment, I conduct a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. This includes a detailed review of your current symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, medications, lifestyle factors, and any previous treatments. I also explore your goals for care so we can develop a personalized treatment plan together. Subsequent sessions typically last 30- 60 minutes and combine medication management with supportive psychotherapy. We will review how you’re responding to treatment, discuss any side effects, adjust medications as needed, and explore thoughts, emotions, and coping strategies through talk therapy. My approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on small, meaningful steps toward improved focus, emotional wellness, and resilience. All sessions are conducted via telehealth in a confidential, judgment-free environment.
