My philosophy to improving mental wellness includes counseling and supportive care, lifestyle changes including exercise and self care, medications when needed to heal and the hard work necessary to change the script. My role is to recommend and prescribe medications to help individuals achieve mental wellness, monitor the efficacy of the medication, assess for concerning side effects and adjust as needed for optimal symptom management. I strive to develop a connection with each and every client and provide a therapeutic environment where they feel comfortable and supported. My goal is to provide effective medication as one of the tools necessary to achieve optimal mental health.
