Our Approach

We provide psychotherapy and medication management to adults, adolescents, and children. Whether providing therapy or medication-focused treatments, we really want to understand our patients and the problems they bring into treatment, as well as any ripple effects on other areas of their lives.

While we treat a variety of psychiatric conditions, we specialize in the treatment of high anxiety states, obsessive thinking, and self-esteem related issues. We have an interest in helping people that have been affected by the addictions of loved ones, and its impact on their relationships including codependency.

As prescribers, we provide a thorough assessment and specify issues to be treated with medications as well of those that may require other approaches. Our style is warm and inquisitive, yet we are precise and direct with our recommendations.

We have a unique understanding of psychiatric medications and we truly enjoy educating clients, physicians, and other mental health providers about the science and art of psychopharmacology.
