Common complaints: "my doctor doesn't listen to me"; "nobody told me or explained it to me"; "I can never get a hold of my provider". I listen. I spend the extra time to explain and teach how your diagnosis works with the chemicals in your mind and how your medications work to balance you. We make decisions together. I follow up when I say I will. I am very thorough; I use evidence-based measurements to identify diagnoses, and no stone is left unturned. You deserve answers, patience, respect, and discretion.
Dual-certification in both internal medicine and mental health gives me the foundation to align your clinical health with your mental health. I'm a US Army combat Veteran who specializes in working with first responders, military servicemembers and veterans. I also offer weight management, ketamine therapy, HRT, sexual dysfunction, and cannabis certification
Don't lose hope, and keep fighting! The light at the end of the tunnel WILL come; let me help you get there. Go to practice.kareo.com/mmt to schedule your initial appointment or call and email us today!

Psychotherapeutic modalities are traditionally tailored to specific diagnoses. Evidence-based research indicates that specific psychotherapy styles are structured in their design, and these styles are more so an outlined program. I use ERP for OCD, Prolonged Exposure for trauma/PTSD, and psychoanalysis to help bring the repressed subconscious to the forefront.
