You need help, but are unsure where to turn. Wary of doctors, suspicious of drugs to which you think you could get "addicted," unbelieving that anyone could know you well enough to help. You may already be taking medicine, but aren't convinced it is the best one for you, or even helping at all. As a clinical psychologist and family physician trained in psychopharmacology, I apply an unusual and broad background to help identify and clarify what is "stuck" for you right now. Discovering ways to feel free of anxiety, depression, anger or hate is our business together.
No one who has summoned the courage to ask for help should have to wait months for a pharmacological consultation—only to endure an impersonal 15 minute visit and get a prescription that may not even be your best option. Together we will find the best possible treatment plan, tailored to your needs.
As a family physician and clinical psychologist with decades of experience in clinical practice, I know how the right treatment can ease the pain of mental health challenges. With compassionate counseling and proper medication oversight, you can find the breathing room you need to discover new insights and solutions as you reclaim a hopeful, fulfilling life.
