You will be seen by a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) who is licensed to evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe. You keep the same provider throughout your care so your treatment stays consistent.
We treat children (ages 5 and up), adolescents, adults, and older adults. Care for younger patients always includes a parent or guardian in the evaluation and treatment plan.

Yes. Psychiatric medications may be prescribed when clinically appropriate as part of your individualized treatment plan. All prescribing decisions are based on a comprehensive evaluation, medical history, diagnosis, and ongoing monitoring. Controlled medications, including stimulants, are considered on a case-by-case basis and are not guaranteed. Additional records, testing, or more frequent follow-up appointments may be required.
Please ask your pharmacy to send us a refill request or contact the office at least three business days before your medication runs out. Refills may require a recent follow-up appointment, so please keep your appointments as scheduled. Submitting a request does not guarantee that a refill will be approved.
My practice primarily focuses on psychiatric evaluations and medication management. Brief supportive therapy and psychoeducation may be incorporated into appointments when appropriate; however, I do not provide ongoing psychotherapy sessions. If ongoing therapy is recommended, I can help you locate a therapist who meets your needs.
