Accepting Tricare, Florida Blue, Cigna Insurance patients. As a Medical Doctor (MD), my goal is working with individuals and helping them 'moving forward'. We are often limited by by own beliefs and sometimes achieve only a fraction of what we are capable because of the "old story we tell ourselves". Patient's come to me for many reasons, medication management being the foremost. We are all at different stages in our lives. When it come to medications, I will ask "what is our long term goal" and work from there...

Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or sleep issues, you can experience relief. These conditions can be debilitating and can disrupt every part of a patient's life. Anxiety is a "thief" stealing precious time that you could spend actively engaging with family and friends. Depression steals your joy and limits your potential. ADHD symptoms steal your opportunity for academic and career advancement, and also affects your relationships with others. Lack of adequate sleep limits your productivity and drains your energy. Treatment can be very effective, allowing you to return to a fulfilled and engaged life.

My ideal client is 16 and older in the state of Florida and having a hard time attending or finding appointments with an in person provider for their mental health. This has led my client to feel telehealth is a great choice for them to conveniently manage their care. My ideal client may also just have a hard time understanding their fluctuations in mood or emotions. My client will want to know how to manage their mood or emotions better with the help of medication and therapy- either short term or long term.
