What We Treat
I provide empathetic, client-centered care using an integrative approach. Below are the various mental health conditions that I treat. I address these conditions by collaborating with other healthcare professionals for comprehensive care and focusing on resilience, self-care, and personal growth. My ultimate goal is to support clients in their journey to improved mental well-being, helping them lead fulfilling lives.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar Disorder encompasses a spectrum of mood disorders, characterized by the oscillation between depressive and manic or hypomanic episodes. Bipolar I Disorder is marked by extreme mood swings, including full-blown manic episodes with symptoms such as elevated mood, increased energy, reduced need for sleep, and risky behavior, which can severely impact daily functioning or necessitate hospitalization. Depressive episodes in both Bipolar I and II feature sadness, disinterest, and possible suicidal ideation. The etiology of Bipolar Disorder is multifaceted, involving genetic, environmental, and neurochemical factors. Bipolar II differs from I by its hypomanic episodes, which are less severe than manic episodes but still include symptoms like irritability, increased activity, and reduced sleep, interspersed with depressive periods characterized by sadness and hopelessness.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health that affects people of all ages and backgrounds. It is by intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) that are performed in an attempt to alleviate anxiety or prevent a feared outcome. OCD can be a debilitating condition that interferes with daily life, but with proper treatment, many people are able to manage their symptoms and lead fulfilling lives.
Depression
Depression can impact every part of life, making it hard to feel motivated, focused, or connected to the things that matter most. Treatment begins with creating a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. I use evidence-based approaches that may include medication to improve mood and therapy to build coping skills, along with attention to sleep, exercise, nutrition, and mindfulness to support recovery. My goal is to help you manage symptoms while also building resilience, confidence, and a renewed sense of balance. With the right care, it’s possible to feel better and move toward a more fulfilling life.
Anxiety
Anxiety can feel overwhelming, showing up as constant worry, restlessness, or even physical symptoms like racing thoughts, tension, or trouble sleeping. My approach to treatment combines evidence-based strategies such as therapy and, when appropriate, medication to reduce symptoms and restore a sense of calm. I also emphasize the role of healthy lifestyle habits—like good sleep, regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and mindfulness—in supporting long-term stability. Each person’s experience of anxiety is unique, so I tailor treatment to meet individual needs. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and able to handle life’s challenges with greater ease.
ADHD
We treat ADHD and attention disorders. These can be treated with stimulants and non-stimulant pharmacological methods. Pharmacological methods are also useful in treating ADHD. We do not do ADHD testing at this practice so be sure to bring your documentation from either adult or child ADHD testing. If you do not have this please call the office and we can suggest places that do Adult ADHD Testing.
Panic Disorder
Panic disorder can be frightening and disruptive, with sudden episodes of intense fear, racing heart, shortness of breath, or a sense of losing control. My approach to treatment focuses on reducing the frequency and intensity of panic attacks while helping you regain confidence in daily life. I use evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive and mindfulness techniques, alongside medication when appropriate, to calm symptoms and prevent recurrence. I also emphasize healthy routines—like sleep, exercise, and stress management—to support recovery. Together, we create a personalized plan so you can feel safer in your body, more grounded, and free to live fully.
