Frequently asked questions

What should I expect in my first appointment?

We'll take time to discuss your complete history - not just symptoms, but your life circumstances, health background, and what you hope to achieve. This thorough approach helps us create the most effective personalized treatment plan.

How do you approach medication management?

Medication is one tool among many. I carefully consider whether medication might help, which type would be most appropriate, and how it fits with other aspects of your treatment plan. We'll discuss benefits, potential side effects, and monitor progress together.

Can you provide therapy as well as medication management?

While I focus primarily on diagnostic evaluation and medication management, I incorporate counseling strategies into our visits and work closely with our therapy team to ensure you receive comprehensive, coordinated care.

Do you work with both children and adults?

Yes, I enjoy working with patients across all age groups. Whether evaluating a child for ADHD or an adult for depression, I take the same thorough, personalized approach to each patient's care.
