My approach to therapy

I like to determine a patient's goals and needs. We specialize your treatment to ensure the most effective methods are used to assist in providing support and coordination of additional resources. This can include determining care supports for patients where they live for medication or building person-centered coping skills to better assist the patient with navigating difficult situations. We work as a team to ensure the best outcomes for you while learning more about how your mental health impacts your life.

What you can expect from me

Typically, we determine goals regarding your direct needs first. We do sessions to learn about your concerns, address historical issues, behavioral modification, and emotional coping strategies to ensure the best possible impact to your daily life. I foster a very patient centered environment and want to know your direct needs first.
