Understand the Importance of Behavioral Health
Behavioral Health is a how the body reacts to our behaviors. Sometimes this can be a link between mental illness, and other times it is connected to substance use.
At SVH, we take a holistic approach to mental wellness through counseling and medication, and through the experience of our providers, we consider each patient an individual with individual needs and treatments. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach.

“Sometimes we all need a safe, non-judgmental space where we can just be who are,” she said. “My approach to counseling is to foster an honest and supportive relationship where healing and growth can occur. I do that by being present and collaborating with you to create a plan that addresses your needs and allowing the therapy process to unfold within your comfort level. I seek to understand the many aspects that make up who you are: physical, emotional and spiritual.”
