I am looking for the patient who wants to improve their mental health and well being through medication management. I am excited to be working with the amazing team at Psychological Associates of Central Florida and look forward to offering medication management to their established patients and also to any other patient who is seeking new patient services.
We treat a vast array of presentations including major depressive disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and social anxiety disorders.
I've been practicing for over 25 years as a board certified Physician Assistant and hold an additional board certification in Psychiatry. My first 19 years of practice were in Internal Medicine, during which time I was the medical liaison for the inpatient psychiatric units at Lakeland Regional Health. I now practice general psychiatry & addiction medicine.
Medications are not magic pills, quick fixes, or cures, but they can be very helpful tools in managing our mental health. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. I really look forward to working with you. All are welcome. Come as you are.
