I provide evidence-based psychiatric care designed to support mental health and overall well-being, with treatment tailored to each client's unique needs.

Psychiatric Evaluation

60-minute initial intake

A comprehensive evaluation to understand your mental health history, current concerns, and goals. Together, we will develop a personalized treatment plan that may include psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of approaches.

30-minute follow-up sessions

Ongoing sessions focused on monitoring your response to medication, making adjustments when necessary, and supporting your progress. Each session also provides space to discuss emotional well-being and ensure care stays aligned with your goals.

Psychotherapy

Individual talk therapy

Through supportive, evidence-based talk therapy, we work together to explore the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be holding you back. Sessions are tailored to your needs and may draw on cognitive-behavioral, trauma-informed, or other therapeutic approaches to help you build insight, resilience, and lasting change.
