An initial evaluation will assist in gaining insight into your personal needs. My hope is that clients will feel heard, and understood with open communication and participation in their treatment plan. I am here to help you, we will work together to identify your needs and address them. This will include the needs of your mind, body, and spirit as I use a holistic approach and not just medicine, I also use Motivational interviewing, and mindfulness among other approaches to help you get better.

I work with psychotherapists to make needed referrals and use evidence-based techniques that will help you overcome your mental health illness. Although I prescribe medication, Medication alone does not fully provide mental health symptom relief, but research has shown that medication and psychotherapy including Mindfulness, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) help you identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that are harmful or ineffective, replacing them with more accurate thoughts and functional behaviors. Interpersonal therapy (IPT) is a short-term form of treatment. It will help you understand underlying interpersonal issues that are troublesome, like unresolved grief, changes in social or work roles, conflicts with significant others, and problems relating to others.
