As a nurse practitioner, I blend traditional psychiatric practices with holistic approaches, offering comprehensive care that addresses both the mind and body. I manage psychotropic medications, order and monitor appropriate laboratory tests, explore psychotherapy modalities that work for you, help you taper medications (if appropriate), and support your dietary and lifestyle modifications that optimize mental health.
I prescribe medications, but I believe they are only part of your treatment plan. Lifestyle factors play a significant role in determining our overall well-being. My goal is to help you identify and alter your lifestyle so you can live your best life.
In our first meeting, I will gather a great deal of information about your physical health, occupation, relationships, and any prior psychiatric care. Often, I will order lab tests that might reveal any physical causes for your symptoms. We will collaboratively design a treatment plan that works for you.
