Effective mental health treatment begins with a strong therapeutic relationship. Your care should feel warm, understanding, and provide you with clarity. Trust is the foundation for therapeutic progress, and with my approachability and dependability, I will help you develop that trust.
Understanding you (who you are and why you are here). Psychiatric diagnosis is made based on history gathering and clinical assessment. Laboratory tests may be ordered to rule out underlying conditions.
Individualized evidenced based treatment plan, which may include pharmacological and complementary alternative medicine treatments. Your treatment plan is formulated with both my clinical expertise and your individual needs, values, and goals. Supportive psychotherapy and lifestyle interventions may be incorporated into our sessions.
I communicate with other mental health and medical professionals involved in your care. I may also gather information and provide resources to your loved ones whenever this is helpful.
