First session
If you’re experiencing troubling symptoms, a comprehensive mental health evaluation can help determine whether medication may be helpful for you. When medication is recommended, you will learn of the evidence-based, first-line treatment options and therapeutic alternatives, as well as, what to expect— the benefits, risks, and possible side effects, so that you are able to make fully informed decisions regarding your treatment plan. If you have any doubt with your current medication(s), a comprehensive mental health evaluation can reassess your symptoms to ensure accuracy of your diagnosis and treatment, and address any questions/concerns you have. If you’d like to change medications, I will help you learn of your options and recommend a safe tapering schedule to reduce undesirable side effects. Whether you are experiencing symptoms as a result of situational life stressors or you’ve been battling this lifelong, we will develop an evidence-based treatment plan that will help you get back to the life you’ve always wanted to live.

GeneSight Test for Psychotropics is a pharmacogenomic test which means that it analyzes how your genes may affect medication outcomes. The GeneSight test analyzes clinically important genetic variations in your DNA. Results can provide insight about how you may break down or respond to certain medications commonly prescribed to treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other psychiatric conditions, reducing trial and error while finding the right treatment.
