Great to meet you!

Many years of providing mental health care to people community health centers, outpatient clinics and inpatient mental health units have given me vast experience with a variety of mental health diagnosis and treatment modalities. I appreciate working with clients with depression, anxiety/trauma, mood and substance abuse influences on mental health. I also respect the struggle with relational disorder like personality disorders (BPD/ASPD)

A bit about my approach to therapy

The relationship between a psychiatric provider and a client can be a powerful tool in combatting mental illness. Psychiatry allows for clients to discuss symptoms and how they interfere with aspects of their lives and offer medications that can bring balance back to their neurological system. This is a process that permits a client to be prepared for counseling or therapy to further their progress.

What you can expect from our first session

Every person that meets with me is unique and their experience requires exploration and options for care need to be considered. As a former therapist and a psychiatric provider I bring both skills to meetings with clients. Bringing the science of psychiatry and the art of therapy to meetings the client's goal are determined, review and amended as the client needs. It is the client's life thus they determine the goal; provide guidance, support and medications.
