    Approach to Therapy

    • My approach is compassionate, collaborative & patient-centered. I use a holistic, trauma-informed framework that considers the biological, psychological and social factors affecting mental health. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgemental space where patients feel heard and empowered. By integrating psychotherapy, medication management and psychoeducation when appropriate, I help individuals build practical coping skills, improve resilience and achieve meaningful, lasting wellness.

FAQs

    The prescriber will ask you to describe your symptoms, the time and circumstances of when your symptoms began, and ask you to recall any patterns of your symptoms. They will ask about your health history, family situation and any family history of similar problems. You may be encouraged to talk about your childhood, any support systems you have (family, friends and community) and your general wellbeing.

  • If medication is prescribed to treat your condition, it is important for the prescriber to follow up on a regular basis to ensure that the treatment is working and that there are no adverse side effects.
