In your initial appointment, you'll meet with me in my office or via video call. We will explore your psychiatric history and current symptoms. This time is also your time to ask questions about diagnoses, treatment options, and medications. Together, we'll set treatment goals, which may include lifestyle adjustments, and if suitable, a medication plan and prescription(s) will be provided.

Follow-up appointments are tailored to your needs and treatment plan. Initially, I will meet with you at least monthly to monitor symptoms and assess any side effects, ensuring regular support. Of course, if you feel the need to be seen sooner, simply reach out me to schedule an earlier appointment.
