My approach

I typically use a holistic and patient-centered therapeutic approach, integrating evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, medication management, and psycho-education to address mental health issues. I emphasize building a strong therapeutic alliance with patients, establishing trust, promoting self-awareness, and empowering individuals to navigate their mental health challenges effectively. Additionally, I may incorporate psychopharmacology interventions when necessary for symptom management and stabilization.

My focus

I provide care for patients with various mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, substance use disorders, PTSD, ADHD, and other psychotic conditions.

My communication style

Typically, I utilize an open and empathetic communication style when interacting with my patients. I emphasize active listening, validating feelings, and providing a non-judgmental and supportive environment for patients to express their thoughts and emotions. I also employ therapeutic communication techniques such as reflective listening, clarification, and summarization to understand patients' concerns and experiences better.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting with patients by collaboratively identifying specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals that align with the individual's treatment plan. I worked closely with patients to establish goals that were personalized, realistic, and aligned with the patient's values, preferences, and unique circumstances. I ensure that goals are clear, attainable, and meaningful to the patient’s overall mental health and well-being, fostering motivation, accountability, and progress throughout the therapeutic process. Goals are regularly reassessed based on the patient's progress and changing needs.
