What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach involves transparency, compassion, listening, goal-setting, healthy processing, and coping mechanisms. I set medication and therapy goals with the client and provide motivation, support, medication, and feedback when necessary. I believe in total medical freedom and diversity.
Outside referral for ADHD testing may be recommended on a case-by-case basis.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Once an appointment is booked, please expect a call from the office to schedule a New Patient Evaluation to determine diagnoses (if any). If you have to cancel, please do so within 24 hours of your booking or you may be subject to a late cancellation fee. After that determination, I will get a history, assess your symptoms, and then we would discuss a treatment plan that may or may not include medication, supplements, nutrition, psychotherapy, environmental changes, and/or lab work. Depending on the diagnosis and treatment, a 30 minute follow up appointment is usually within 2-4 weeks after the initial appointment.

Very pleasant experience from start to end. I've seen about 5 mental health practitioners within the past two years virtually due to the recent pandemic, and I can say this NP stood out in being one of the best. I just met her once but I appreciated her demeanor and professionalism, and She was understanding and very open to hearing about my perspectives, and her high level of experience and expertise was apparent. I'm hopeful that she will be someone who can offer to me great advice and help throughout my finding out about myself mentally going forward.
One thing to point out was that the (virtual) front-desk staff, Nina, was awesome. It seems she's the direct and only contact I can reach out to with questions and requests, and this is preferable for me since I don't need to speak with many random people and things getting mixed up and delayed. Nina is the only person there is and she will respond super quickly to any emails, texts, calls! Reliable and accessible support!
