Great to meet you!

I take an evidence-based approach to psychiatric medication management, guided by warmth, empathy, and respect for each person’s individual needs and goals.

I understand that deciding to consider medication is not always easy. I’ll meet you where you are, discuss your options openly, and work with you to find an approach that considers your whole person—not just your symptoms. My goal is to help you achieve meaningful improvement with the lowest effective medication burden necessary to reach our agreed-upon treatment goals.

My approach to therapy

My approach to psychiatric care is evidence-based, collaborative, and individualized. I believe medication management should consider the whole person, including their symptoms, experiences, circumstances, and treatment goals.

What you can expect from me

By the end of the session, you'll have a clear understanding of my impressions, an initial treatment plan, and plenty of time to ask questions. If medication is appropriate, we'll discuss the risks, benefits, and alternatives together. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, informed, and hopeful about the path forward.
