I like to do root cause investigating. I do not offer talk therapy but psychoeducation is built in to every session. I provide mental health medication management in Florida however I do not prescribe benzo anxiety meds (Xanax,Ativan, Clonazepam etc) for daily use through a telehealth platform. Patients will be placed on a taper protocol. Your experience will be collaborative and tailored to your unique needs which will foster growth and wellness. ADHD requires a neuropsych evaluation to be completed before medication will be prescribed.

Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone seeking medication support for mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and ADHD (already diagnosed with records, or willing to go for neuropsych evaluation before starting medication), or chronic health conditions. They value a holistic approach to care, desire personalized treatment plans, and aim to achieve improved mental and physical well-being. Their goal is to feel supported, empowered, and understood. I work with your talk therapist to provide a whole person treatment.
