What should a new client know about working with you?

I have an integrative approach when treating my patients and may recommend some supplements to take along with FDA-approved medications to maximize relief.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My initial sessions are 60 minutes long for us to get to know each other and your needs. Follow-ups are 30 minutes every two weeks with medication adjustment and monitoring. Once you are stabilized, we will meet every 4 weeks to 12 weeks depending on where you are in your journey.
