What you can expect from me

Your first visit is a chance for us to get to know each other and talk about what brings you to care. We’ll discuss your symptoms, health and treatment history, daily challenges, and goals. Whether you’re seeking help with anxiety, depression, panic, ADHD, OCD, trauma, mood changes, sleep, or stress, you’ll have space to share at your own pace and ask questions. Together, we’ll consider next steps, which may include medication management, supportive therapy, or both, and create a plan that fits your needs. You don’t need to have everything figured out before we meet.
