Looking outside of the typical mental health diagnosis box, that's what I do best. I customize treatment plans by considering all medical possibilities for your target symptoms that are causing you distress, along with your mental health history. Together we come up with a medication plan. Utilizing evidence-based practice to positively impact the neuroplasticity of your brain's neural pathways is key. The goal is to decrease the pain around the main target symptom and beyond. Each session, I assess for symptoms of what could be impairing your higher functioning in life. We build from the foundation up, a healthier, brighter you. My clinical approach includes the fundamental concept of healing the mind-body connection for your treatment plan. With my specialized training & years of clinical experience in the medical and mental health sectors for the last 16 years; my care respects the integrative care of the whole person, and not a the diagnosis. I approach target symptoms with a differential of causes from the medical and mental health spectrum.

I work in unison with A Fresh Start Behavioral Health & Safe Landing Wellness Center practices. Both practices are safe spaces where you can put down your burdens and start to rebuild the next chapter of your life. To feel understood and where your experiences & life story is honored. You are in the driver's seat with your treatment plan and I am here to guide you in your journey. I provide supportive therapy to the specialized medication management plan that I develop for you.

Ensuring that medication is the right fit for you and your target symptoms is the main focus of our initial consultation. Utilizing the medical and mental health wellness intake paperwork, guides me to design a comprehensive mind & body wellness plan. Medication management is a steady flotation device, while a licensed therapist teaches you how to swim. The ultimate goal is to be medication-free and in a place of wellness in your life.
