I have been a Nurse Practitioner for 4 years. I’m very selective in medications and will start at low doses and increase slowly as needed. I will not start multiple medications and meds are started in order of greatest need for symptom management. We will discuss how meds are working at each visit and work together to find the right combo. Stimulants for ADHD and Benzos for anxiety are limited and only after a thorough assessment and other options have been tried and failed. Benzos are short term only and not intended for long term use due to safety issues and addiction potential.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
There will be a lot of questions to obtain an accurate diagnosis. We will then discuss a treatment plan and medications if warranted. Therapy referral will be given if necessary. Labs may be ordered to rule out medical causes for symptoms (anemia, vitamin deficiencies, thyroid issues, etc). Lifestyle change recommendations will be made.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Listening. Collaborating with the patient. Prescribing only if appropriate for the diagnosis. Working with you to figure out the root causes of your symptoms and address them accordingly.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am looking for depressed and/or anxious people. I have also worked with PTSD patients as well as various mood disorders. I'm also looking for people who are interested in long-term wellness and are willing to make lifestyle changes to have a better, healthier future.

A wonderful person who helps me understand my own body and how medication is a tool in my wheelhouse. I appreciate her open and honest information about how I can help myself outside of medication as well. I've taken many of her suggestions and I've noticed significant improvement in my life overall!

She quickly understands what I feel emotionally, mentally and physically and moves me where it is possible to make changes on m,y own and helps me where I can not.
