Psychiatric Evaluation
A comprehensive evaluation gathering information about your history and symptoms, with the goal of determining a diagnosis and treatment options. Although this is much like an interview, your input and views are essential to making this a collaborative experience.

Medication Management
Judicious, thoughtful and evidence-based use of medications can provide significant benefit for a variety of mental health conditions. After a thorough evaluation and review of all the risks and benefits, we will work together to determine the best course of medical treatment to address your unique short-term needs and long-term goals.
Therapy
I offer brief therapy incorporating elements of motivational interviewing, cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness, and psychodynamic approaches. If you believe targeted, specific, or more intensive therapy will be of benefit, I can offer a referral to a well-qualified therapist to better suit your needs.
