Our Services
I believe not everything that looks psychiatric starts with a psychiatric disorder, and finding the real cause matters more than simply naming a symptom. I believe medication can be a genuinely important tool, but it works best as one part of a bigger plan that also looks at sleep, physical health, and what's actually happening in your life, not as the whole plan by itself.
Conditions I Treat
ADHD is one of my favorite conditions to work with. I understand how an ADHD brain operates, and I love helping someone go from "I can't get anything done and I don't know what's wrong with me" to actually understanding how their brain works and using that to their advantage.
Depression, especially when it shows up as low motivation, chronic fatigue, or trouble concentrating. Before assuming those symptoms are purely psychiatric, I like to dig into what else might be contributing, including sleep, nutrition, and physical health.
Bipolar disorder, where the goal is helping someone reach real stability, not just managing the crisis in front of us. Watching someone rebuild consistency and regain control of their life is some of the most meaningful work I do.
Anxiety, particularly when it's tangled up with racing thoughts, irritability, or the kind of insomnia that keeps someone exhausted but wired at 2am.
Treatment Modalities
-
I take a thoughtful, individualized approach to prescribing. I'm not interested in adding medication just to check a box, and I'm always weighing whether we actually need one more prescription or whether something else is getting in the way first.
-
I ask almost every patient about their sleep because it's one of the most overlooked pieces of mental health. I screen for sleep hygiene issues, symptoms of sleep apnea, and restless leg symptoms, since disrupted sleep can make anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms significantly harder to manage.
-
When appropriate, I review labs like CBC, CMP, thyroid function, vitamin D, B12, and ferritin to rule out physical contributors to fatigue, mood, or concentration issues before assuming everything is purely psychiatric. I also discuss nutrition and evidence-informed supplementation when it fits your specific situation.
-
I use standardized symptom checklists to understand how attention, mood, and anxiety symptoms overlap and interact, so we're treating what's actually driving your symptoms rather than guessing.
-
For patients with possible bipolar-spectrum symptoms, I use structured screening alongside your full clinical history to understand where your symptoms fit and to build a treatment plan that's both safe and appropriate.
-
Many of your visits will include real conversation about what's going on in your life, not just a quick medication check. When more structured, ongoing therapy would serve you better, I'll help connect you with a therapist I trust.
Intake Appointment
I'll ask you to complete paperwork in advance so we can spend our time together actually talking, not filling out forms. We'll go through your history, your current concerns, and what you want your life to look like, then build a treatment plan together.
Follow-Up Appointment
A focused check-in on how your medication is working, any side effects, and updates on sleep and lifestyle factors. If you're on a controlled substance, these visits happen every four weeks. Once you're stable, we typically space these out to every three months.
