I provide medication management services for mental health. I encourage all patients to continue regular therapy with your therapist. If you don't already have one, I can make a recommendation. I take a personalized and collaborative approach to each patient's care, tailoring treatments to meet your unique needs. I use evidence-based practices to help you achieve your mental health goals. I do not prescribe any opiates including buprenorphine, nor any benzodiazepines. I am out of network with all insurances.
