Nuts and bolts of what we do
If you have questions about what this actually looks like, that’s a good thing. Let’s break it down
I want to know the real you
Not in some hypothetical, problem-focused way - I want to see the whole picture.
My typical process looks like this:
90-120 minute initial evaluations, focused on:
Current situation (the good, the bad, the hinging-on ugly)
Evaluation tools to clarify symptoms
Past medications or therapy
Extensive medical and family history (only what you’re comfortable sharing)
Complete diagnostics of the most common conditions
Setting goals that are meaningful to you
Establishing a plan of care to
30-minute follow-up appointments, timed to your needs:
Shorter but still meaningful check-ins meant to keep us on track
Adjustments to medication or approach
Intention matters more than speed here
We’ll dig deep.
What This is and what it is not
What to expect when we sit down together:
Collaboration
Thoughtful conversation
Intentional discussion
Laughter, maybe some tears
What it won’t be
A rushed, sterile evaluation
A prescription without direction
One-size-fits-all lecture
If you are looking for a quick, narrow-focused, transactional appointment done in 15 minutes, this is a bad fit.
I’m didn’t come to mess around
Philosophy on meds
Medications are tools - I aim to balance minimizing medication burden while maximizing your quality of life.
Medication is helpful when:
Thought of as a potential option, not a default
Used intentionally, balancing treatment-guidelines with real usefulness to you
Prescribed correctly and not as a Band-aid over deeper issues beyond medication
Adjusted empirically one-at-a-time based on patterns of symptoms.
Balanced with context to you and your life
Let’s make this something worth fighting for
Other Nuts + Bolts

Yes, I accept payment from a wide-range of insurance companies.
