BIO
I provide a focus on improving mental health including education, safety, and medication. I have experience treating and managing acute and chronic symptoms. Although my primary role is in medication management, I like to spend time listening to and working with my clients providing counseling, education, and offering coping strategies. I have personal experience with depression and anxiety while also witnessing the struggles of family, friends, and clients. I am compassionate and feel it is important to offer open communication that is easy to understand. I like to get to know my patients by building rapport with them and getting a clear understanding of their symptoms, life history, and family history. This allows me to prioritize care, focus on their needs, and develop a plan of care. Treating mental health is a process that requires collaboration between myself and the client.
