  • Yes. In addition to medication management, I provide supportive psychotherapy during our appointments. This may include helping you process stressors, develop coping strategies, and work through life transitions as part of your overall treatment plan.

    If you would benefit from more intensive or specialized therapy, I’m happy to collaborate with or refer you to a trusted therapist to ensure you receive the level of support that best meets your needs.

  • Medication decisions are always individualized and made collaboratively. I take time to understand your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and goals before recommending treatment, and I only prescribe medication when it is clearly indicated and likely to provide meaningful benefit. My approach is holistic and integrative, which means we will also consider lifestyle factors, behavioral strategies, and evidence-informed supplements when appropriate as part of your overall care plan.

    I do prescribe controlled medications, such as stimulants, when clinically appropriate and on a case-by-case basis. These decisions are made thoughtfully, with careful assessment, clear expectations, and ongoing monitoring to ensure safety and effectiveness.

  • Yes. I truly enjoy caring for children and adolescents and see patients beginning at age 4 and up. Supporting young people and their families through developmental, emotional, and behavioral challenges is one of the most meaningful parts of my work.

    I take a thoughtful, developmentally informed approach and partner closely with parents and caregivers to ensure care feels collaborative, supportive, and aligned with each child’s unique needs.
