“I have a kind and welcoming style that will meet each client where they are without judgement. I'll actively listen to issues and provide a realistic expectation of what therapies can be helpful and what medications can do. Together, we'll form a plan of care that works and reevaluate that plan often to make sure it is appropriate.”
