I take the time to perform an unhurried and thorough psychiatric evaluation and building a therapeutic relationship built on trust and openness. I have a telehealth practice and assess for both medical and psychiatric symptoms. This involves discussion of your physical health, lifestyle, use of prescriptions, over the counter medications, and other supplements and any other substances such as alcohol and other illicit drugs. These factors are important as they can contribute to symptoms that mimic psychiatric symptoms. Sometimes , people can have resolution of symptoms with lifestyle changes. If needed, I prescribe medication for psychiatric support. I provide therapy based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy principles.
