Strength begins with seeking help. You’ve already taken the first step.

Seeking help takes strength, and I want you to know that you do not have to do this alone. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and treated with kindness and respect. Care is centered on helping you move toward healing, resilience, and lasting mental wellness, while also supporting healthy boundaries, emotional balance, and personal growth.

If this is your first time seeing a psychiatric provider, the process may feel more familiar than you expect. The initial appointment is designed to better understand your symptoms, your experiences, your goals, and what you hope to gain from treatment. Together, we create a plan of care that is personalized, collaborative, and aligned with your needs.

Mental health symptoms are important, but so is the bigger picture. Concerns such as anxiety, depression, mood changes, or difficulty focusing can sometimes be connected to medical conditions, medication side effects, hormonal changes, thyroid issues, infections, or other treatable physical health factors. A thoughtful evaluation includes looking at these possible contributors so that treatment is both accurate and effective.

Diagnosis and treatment planning can sometimes be clear in the first visit, while other times they develop over several appointments as more information comes into focus. My approach is thoughtful and collaborative, with the goal of helping you feel more supported, more informed, and more confident in your care.
