What can a patient expect to take away from a session with me?
I strive to provide an environment that facilitates person centered growth, openness and joint collaboration to help mitigate and reduce symptoms of mental health. I will encourage and educate on symptoms reduction, coping skills and medication, if warranted. I will never force my agenda and maintain an open, judgment free zone.
