I believe that good mental health is a product of treating the whole person. This approach often includes psychotherapy and sometimes medication, as well as mindfulness meditation, exercise, and a healthy diet. In my experience, a whole-person centered approach can decrease reliance on medications and help the patient achieve a sense of agency in their psychological wellness.

Not accepting new clients
My ideal client is an individual that is open and motivated for treatment. Healing requires hardwork and dedication. It is important for them to understand that healing is a journey and is not accomplished overnight. I will be an active participant in the healing journey, but I will not be the only participant. Therefore, it is highly important that the individual is committed to the process. I am not a "pill pushing provider" so it is also important to understand and open to therapy being involved in your treatment.
