I prescribe and manage mental health medications for adults. My optimal treatment philosophy is education about diagnosis, behavioral modification, and medication management to help alleviate symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood, and trauma, among others. I have a direct but empathic approach to care. I believe that building a strong therapeutic alliance and empowering you to be partners in your care is an essential foundation to treatment. I will stress the benefits of eating healthy whole foods, time outdoors, and the importance of exercise in optimizing mental and physical well-being.
I use a limited and cautious approach to controlled medications for management of certain psychiatric diagnosis. I believe medication should be prescribed at the lowest effective dose while utilizing the fewest number of medications. I feel medication changes should be done slowly to minimize drug to drug interactions and side effects.
If you are requesting medication management with stimulants, I will require psychological testing, review medical records, and have discussions with therapists when appropriate.
