I decided to become a psychiatric provider when I was in high school.

Young adults to geriatrics

One thing I wish all clients knew is that psychotherapy is a powerful, evidence-based tool that can lead to meaningful improvements in mood, functioning, and overall well-being and investing in your mental health is just as essential as caring for your physical health.

In the first session, clients can expect a thorough yet comfortable assessment where we review symptoms, medical and mental health history, and the goals they hope to achieve. Early in therapy, I focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship, establishing a clear treatment plan, and helping clients understand the strategies and interventions we’ll use. Clients can expect a structured, collaborative approach grounded in evidence-based care, active listening, and a pace that feels supportive and manageable.

My practice is guided by empathy and respect for each person’s journey. I draw on both my clinical experience and personal insight into mental health to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, understood, and empowered to take charge of their healing.

Tailor therapy by first understanding each client’s unique experiences, goals, and challenges. I draw from evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing, selecting and adapting techniques that best fit their individual needs. Together, we create a personalized plan that honors their strengths, addresses their concerns, and supports meaningful, lasting change.
