The first session, as with all Thriveworks therapists, will involve talking through your needs and goals for therapy — whether those involve managing depression, anxiety, relationship problems, or another mental health challenge. This will enable you to receive the very best care, as a personalized treatment plan will then be developed for subsequent sessions. Thriveworks helps people live happier, more fulfilling lives. Clients are guided and supported as they work through their unique mental health challenges – and, along the way, shown the life-changing power of therapy.

I offer a variety of counseling approaches including CBT / Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems. I view medication as a tool that can aid in helping you increase your level of functioning and enhance your quality of life. As a previous clinical pharmacist, I have seen first hand the dangers associated with indiscriminate prescribing. I believe in providing holistic, patient-centered care. I will assist you in making informed decisions regarding your behavioral health medication management needs.
