I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner, psychologist, and life coach with over 30 years of experience. I work with clients who live in New York State, are between the ages of 18 and 60, and are considering medication to help manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and traumatic stress. I work with ALL clients and am particularly a good fit for those who are considering medication for the first time OR whose first experience with medication was less than ideal.
Though medication can be very helpful in reducing/eliminating your symptoms there are other factors that play a role in your mental health and overall wellness. To that end I also stress the importance of sleep, nutrition, exercise, healthy relationships, healthy thinking habits, and therapy (if needed) among other factors. Medication is one part of an overall mental health and wellness plan to living your best life!
Starting medication may be new to you, it may seem scary, or you may have had negative prior experiences. It’s so important to find someone who is patient and takes the time to learn what you’re experiencing and how it is impacting you, someone who will also take the time to explain your treatment options in a way that is easy to understand. I am that person and I will do just that.
