Let's Work Together
Initial Consultation
The goal of the initial consultation(s) is to create a targeted treatment plan. We will take time to explore the pieces that come together to make you. Based on this evaluation, the treatment plan may recommend medications, psychotherapy or behavioral change. I will provide specific referrals to interventional treatments, further diagnostic evaluation and specialists as needed.
Medication Management
Medications are an essential part of treatment for some people suffering from mood disorders, anxiety, or other mental health challenges. Let's work together to achieve symptomatic relief while avoiding unwanted side effects.
Individual Psychotherapy
Suffering is a constant in life, and from a young age we develop complex systems of emotions, thoughts, behaviors and anxiety to manage that suffering. Sometimes these systems stop working or are overwhelmed by trauma, and our pain is reinforced.
In psychotherapy we work together, to turn a compassionate eye towards your internal process and the contexts in which that process was created. Through a combination of insight, capacity building and emotion processing, we work towards a richer life capable of holding both suffering and joy.
