Great to meet you!

In order to complete out mission of enhancing your personal well-being, we need to be open and honest. Share with me what you feel comfortable with, but know I will never judge you. One thing to know, for sure, is that we will both need to work for your treatment plan to succeed.
During our first session you will bring any records you have so we'll be able to spend more time addressing how you are feeling now. After signing some basic paperwork, we will spend about an hour where I will ask you to share your feelings while also asking you some direct questions. Near the end of our visit, I may ask you to fill out a questionnaire to support our evidence-based treatment. Then we will decide on a time to meet again. Please realize that emotions, feelings, and thought processes can be complicated so we may need more than one visit to decide on a diagnosis and appropriate medication. You will be provided with my number and a crisis line so that you will have access to emergency. healthcare between visits.
