Great to meet you!

With over seven years of experience in psychiatric care, I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of ADHD, depression, and anxiety. At Focus Forward Health, I take a compassionate and individualized approach to mental health, helping clients build the tools they need to move forward with clarity and confidence. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered on their journey toward wellness.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe in a collaborative, client-centered approach that respects each person’s unique experiences and goals. I work closely with clients to develop personalized treatment plans that may include therapy, medication management, lifestyle support, and education. I strive to create a safe, empathetic environment where clients feel supported and empowered to take an active role in their mental health journey. My goal is to help individuals not just manage symptoms, but achieve meaningful and lasting improvement in their overall well-being.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect a supportive and collaborative environment where their concerns are heard, validated, and addressed with evidence-based care. Together, we work to identify underlying issues, set realistic and meaningful goals, and develop a treatment plan that aligns with their values and lifestyle. Over time, clients often experience improved focus and emotional regulation, healthier coping strategies, greater self-awareness, and enhanced quality of life. Whether managing ADHD, or navigating anxiety and depression, my goal is to help each client build confidence, resilience, and lasting stability.
