Through active listening and a strength-based approach, we can work together on defining your goals and creating a treatment plan that suits your unique needs. Treatment plans can include medications and other holistic interventions such as movement, adding foods (no diets), specific therapy recommendations, or mindfulness-based techniques. I use interventions that are science-based and supported by evidence. I have over 8 years experience in treating people with addiction, most of whom had other mental health diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD with a focus on women-identifying individuals. Specific therapeutic modalities I use include motivational interviewing and person-centered therapy with elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, but I believe the most powerful part of psychiatric treatment is the relationship we build. In our time together, you will be seen as a whole person, someone who has innate strength amidst the challenges you face.
