My focus is to treat all mental health conditions. Each individual has a unique past, present, and future that will and have shaped them into who they are. I do not believe in prescribing or treating in a "one size fits all". I value and want input and feedback from my patients.
I am compassionate, open-minded, holistic, and solution-oriented. My hope is that patients leave their appointment feeling like their concerns have been heard and fully addressed, they were respected and not judged, they have a clear understanding of their treatment plan, and have a more hopeful outlook for their future and present.
