Treatment & Services

  • Do you prescribe medications?

    Yes, I can prescribe medications if needed as part of your treatment plan. However, we’ll discuss all options, including non-medication treatments.

  • Do you offer therapy or counseling?

    While I primarily focus on psychiatric care and medication management, I do offer ADHD coaching, including ADHD-related couples therapy. Additionally, we work with many excellent therapists at Mindful Therapy Group and can assist you in finding a great fit for ongoing counseling.

  • What is patient-centered care?

    Patient-centered care means we work together as partners. I bring my medical expertise, and you provide insight into your lived experience to co-create the best treatment plan for you.

  • Are there any conditions you don't treat?

    In some cases, a patient's needs may be better addressed by a different provider, particularly if the case is highly complex or outside my area of expertise. I prioritize maintaining a clear understanding of my resources and experience to ensure patients receive the best care possible. For example, I do not regularly treat individuals with severe schizophrenia or uncontrolled bipolar mania. As an outpatient provider, I often lack access to the specialized resources, such as caseworkers, that community mental health offices can provide. These resources can make a significant difference in achieving the best outcomes for such conditions. If a specialized level of care is needed, I discuss this openly with the patient and provide appropriate referrals, along with support to ensure a smooth transition to the right provider.
