Hi there, I'm Dr. Williams Are you feeling depressed, feeling down, or not quite feeling yourself? Are you feeling overwhelmed with work, personal and family life? Does your life seem off-balanced or out of control? Are you struggling to find meaning in your life? Now, imagine living your life with more purpose, certainty, and confidence. Imagine having a sense of who you are and moving forward to become who you want to be. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based prescribing so you can be the best you can be. Together, we can find what's medication will work for you and get you back to balance. Let's work together to create balance in your life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I will meet with you for an extensive interview and psychiatric evaluation which will include an overview of your symptoms and determine whether or not medication is a good option for the treatment of your mental health. Within this first session together, we will then determine the best plan of action to move forward. Your medication assessment will also conclude with an opportunity to ask questions during a discussion of the benefits, risks, and side effects of medications, as well as alternatives to medical treatment.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

Psychiatric medications will be prescribed based on your identified symptoms. Medications can also help make other treatments, such as psychotherapy, more effective. Practitioners cannot know in advance what drug will work best for a particular patient without trying them. I will use a medication trial to figure out which medicine works best for each individual client. The best medications for you will depend on your particular situation and how your body responds to the medication.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I work well with adult and adolescent clients who suffer from anxiety and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar.
