With over 15 years of experience as a Psychologist, I have an eclectic approach to treatment, but tend to draw from relational and cognitive behavioral approaches in order to design a specialized treatment plan based on your unique needs.
During your first appointment, we will evaluate your life and family history, make a DSM V diagnosis, and educate you on your diagnosis, causes, treatment options, and prognosis. We will then create a personalized treatment plan based on your symptoms, diagnosis, and preferences. Follow-up appointments will monitor your progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

I tailor my treatment approach to your unique needs and preferences, using evidence-based methods. When it comes to medications, I believe in starting at a low dose and gradually increasing to achieve the desired outcome. This approach helps prevent and detect side effects, particularly in patients new to medication.

We'll start wherever you are and work together to get you to where you want to be, focusing on your own values and goals, not anyone else's. My focus as a therapist is on mental health, not mental illness.
Identify goals for your future and create a plan to see change. We will understand past patterns, practice new strategies of responding to stress and overwhelm, and empower you to see your own capacity and ability to create the changes you want.
