SERVICES

INITIAL CONSULTATION

Your initial visit is a consultation to complete a comprehensive diagnostic assessment of your mental health needs and to determine whether my services are a good fit to address your needs.

MEDICATION MANAGEMENT

During follow up visits for medication management, we will review how the treatment plan is working for you and make any needed adjustments. This is the ideal time to discuss your progress, side effects, and any new needs.

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Although rarely a magic pill that will dissolve away all of our struggles, psychotherapy is a powerful healing process that can bring about lasting change. And, while many of my patients may be initially reluctant to engage in psychotherapy, those that do, rarely, if ever, regret it.
