Let’s Walk Together Toward a Brighter Future
Dedicated Psychiatric Treatment and Medication Management
My Services
I see children, adolescents, and adults. We begin with a consultation and over several sessions we will collaborate with families, schools and any other providers needed. I’ll give my recommendations of what course of action to take. Also, we will work together to find the best treatment for you.
During our sessions, you are more than welcome to ask any questions that come to mind. You are in a safe and welcoming atmosphere where there are no “stupid” questions.
We will work together to find the right treatment that suits your needs. After all, every individual is different and as we work together, I will adapt to said needs to provide the best possible service.
Psychotherapy for Depression and Anxiety
Is psychotherapy effective for treating depression? Psychotherapy can be an effective form of treatment for depression because it can help you delve into possible underlying reasons for your depressive feelings and learn new skills to cope.
Biofeedback and Stress Management
Biofeedback training has been helpful in reducing symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, and other health conditions [17]. There are many types of biofeedback training, including electroencephalograph (EEG), electrocardiogram (ECG), electromyography (EMG), electrodermograph (EDG), and heart rate variability (HRV).
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder/Phobias
Overview. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder that develops in some people who have experienced a shocking, scary, or dangerous event. It is natural to feel afraid during and after a traumatic situation. Fear triggers many split-second changes in the body to help defend against danger or to avoid it.
Couples/Family Counseling
Further, the focus of couple and family counselling is to resolve the family conflicts and to make a family functional. Thus, individual counselling focuses on achieving the well-being of an individual and couple and family counselling focuses on achieving the well-being of the individual as well as the family.

My Specialties
Parenting
Parenting or child rearing promotes and supports the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood. Parenting refers to the intricacies of raising a child and not exclusively for a biological relationship.
Self Esteem
Self-esteem is your overall opinion of yourself — how you feel about your abilities and limitations. When you have healthy self-esteem, you feel good about yourself and see yourself as deserving the respect of others.
Anxiety or Fears
Anxiety is normal. It’s a function that we all have. However, it can be overwhelming at times and prevent you from living your life.
