Great to meet you!

I embrace a holistic and humanistic approach to healthcare and an approach must be individualized. I have worked with various populations and believe that the body, mind, and spirit must be treated together as one.

My approach to therapy

I take a patient-centered, holistic approach, focusing on the whole person, body, mind, and life circumstances. I listen carefully, communicate clearly, and work together with patients to create individualized care plans that match their values and needs.

What you can expect from me

During the first session, we will take time to talk about what has been going on and what led you to seek medication treatment. I will ask questions about your symptoms, history of mental health, and life experiences, so I can better understand your current situation. Together, we will begin discussing your treatment options and your short term goal.
