I pride myself on the ability to listen and it is with that basic action that I strive to provide that to every individual person I meet and every patient that I encounter. I believe that no one knows themselves better than the patient which is paramount to beginning the journey to not only improved mental health during a time of challenge or struggle, but a basis for realistic goals and collaborative treatment plans or expectations. I really put forth the effort to take this journey with my patients, on an individual level, however in a symbiotic or cooperative therapeutic relationship. It takes a certain boldness to be able to say "I'm struggling" and take the step toward finding that help whether it be medication or therapy and recognize this in my practice. Education and sometimes understanding of the 'why' helps take the mystery or unknown out mental health which can be reassuring for patients which is another facet that I attempt to promote during my sessions.
