Medication alone is rarely the answer to mental wellbeing. But it exists for a reason. Namely, getting a person back on track to being their most stable, functional and healthy self.

After 20years in mental healthcare and working in some of the world's most prestigious institutions, I'm uniquely qualified to bring clinical rigor, deep empathy, and sound judgment to every client interaction.

I won't judge you for whatever got you to this place in your life. My only goal is to help you get through it in the most painless way possible.

The first session is usually 45-60min as we go over your history and figure out goals are for treatment. Subsequent appointments typically run 30min. When first starting, or after significant medication changes, appointments are every 3-5weeks. As things become more stable, appointments can space out to every 2-3months.

My primary role is for medication management. So while I am keen to provide supportive care, most people benefit from also meeting with their own therapist.
