Are you wondering whether or not medication can play a role in your mental health? It's a question I enjoy helping clients find the answer to. So many things contribute to our emotional well being and sometimes medication can be the thing that makes a difference. Maybe you've been on medication for years and are curious if you can come off of it. Or perhaps you've been in a therapy awhile and still struggle to show up in your life the way you desire. Or maybe you just want a second opinion. If you are seeking a collaborative partner in determining the role of medication in your mental health, I hope you'll drop me a line.
I'll do a full assessment of where you are now and what you've tried in the past. The first appointment lasts about an hour unless we need more time. Then we will schedule a second appointment to finish. Together we will create a plan to help you optimize your mental health.
You deserve a collaborative partner in this important aspect of your mental health.
