The focus of my practice is offering assessments and diagnoses of various mental health disorders and behavioral issues. I enjoy working with patients of all ages and backgrounds to find the most suitable treatment model based on their diagnoses and mental health needs. These include pharmacological interventions where we discuss treatment goals and guide the patient to take approved medications to help them meet their therapeutic goals.

Message to clients

The first session is about us building an initial connection. I understand the importance of building trust and rapport with you, by creating a safe and supportive environment for open dialogue and healing. I treat every individual with dignity and respect and meet your mental health needs with compassion and understanding.

We will begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your mental health, which involves an assessment of your current symptoms, medication history, behaviors such as daily exercise routines, social interactions, sleep, and more. Various clinically approved screening methods are used to evaluate your symptoms, diagnose, and safely get you on the right treatment. We will then track your progress, meet regularly based on your treatment plans, and refill or adjust your medication(s) as needed. My ultimate goal is to inspire hope, promote resilience, and empower individuals to overcome their challenges and thrive.
