I liken my approach to talking to a trusted friend with a professional edge. I am assertive and kind, and my goal is to listen and provide constructive feedback that you're ready to accept. I work best with adolescents and adults and have experience with all types of mental health diagnoses. The issues I address on a virtual platform include Autism, Anxiety, OCD, ADHD, relationship challenges, self-esteem, codependency, parenting, and more. For those who have tried traditional approaches like medication and therapy and still feel stuck, I offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) as an alternative path toward relief.
For most of the initial session, I will need information about your personal background, family history, and medical details to understand you better. Some questions may feel overly general, while others may feel somewhat invasive or private. Keep in mind that you don't need to divulge anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, but your answers will help.
I'm excited by the flexibility and privacy that Telehealth offers, including the ability to provide innovative treatments to clients who might've been excluded from therapy otherwise. More than ever, clients have the freedom to seek therapy on their own terms, with access to a range of therapeutic options.
