Overview
Medication management is thoughtfully tailored to your individual needs and may include antidepressants, anxiolytics (excluding long-term benzodiazepine management), mood stabilizers, oral and long-acting injectable antipsychotics, and medications requiring therapeutic monitoring, including lithium and Depakote. Treatment decisions are guided by evidence-based practices, collaborative discussion, and a commitment to helping you achieve lasting wellness with the lowest effective medication burden.
What to expect

- An honest discussion of options, benefits, and possible side effects.
- Regular follow-up visits to monitor progress and adjust as needed.
- Coordination with your primary care provider when helpful.
Benzodiazepine Policy
To support safe, evidence-based care, I don’t provide long-term benzodiazepine management.

If you’ve been taking one for less than one year, ongoing care is available with the understanding that treatment will include a gradual, individualized taper plan. This reflects my commitment to your long-term health, safety, and sustainable recovery.
