My communication style

I strive to educate patients about how the medication works and the expected effects on their mental and physical health. My style is collaborative, and I believe in patients participating in decision-making about their own care.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was a bedside nurse, in critical care. I began to see through my experience there that physical and mental health are intertwined, and realized that mental health can play a significant role in overall quality of life and health. I want patients to be able to live their best life possible.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting with patients by encouraging them to take a long-range view. How does the patient want to be feeling in one year? 10 years? We discuss how to use medication and supplements, as well as other forms of treatment, to help them reach the quality of life they want.

Our first session

During the first session, patients are allowed to share with me what they feel they are struggling with the most and what has led them to seek treatment. From there, I ask a broad range of questions in order to gain as complete an overview of the patient as possible. After that, we discuss options for treatment and create a plan.
