Yes!! We can talk and collaborate. Together, we can find a treatment plan that aligns with your goals.

Benzodiazepines, when used long-term, have been linked to dementia.

I can treat depression, anxiety, ADHD (non-stimulants), bipolar disorder, PTSD, and others. If I do not feel that my skill set matches the needs of the patient, I will refer to someone who is better suited for that situation.

Intake takes about an hour and a half to two hours. At the intake appointment, we will develop a plan of care. In rare instances, it may take a few appointments to get to know each other and map out the best treatment plan.
