My Approach to Helping
Immediate openings available for a limited time.* Have you struggled emotionally despite engaging in talk therapy? Have you experienced difficulty in finding the mental health medication plan that works best for you without side effects or impersonal, ineffective treatment? Are you dually experiencing physical health concerns without an informed medical team? If so, I'm here to help you through these difficulties with expertise, empathy, and the patience needed to explore your symptoms thoroughly with the goal of finding the right solutions for you. Let's work together in a comfortable, patient-centered environment that puts your concerns first.
I am currently providing services through renowned upstate NY wellness center Whole Wellness Services and I have advanced training in functional psychiatry that will make your experience with me unique. I offer private, high-quality psychiatric medication and medical management services at reduced rates. If you also are in need of talk therapy, our team of specialists can provide you with dual treatment.
I provide the following services: Basic mental health medication management, functional holistic OTC non-script supplemental treatment plans for mental health symptoms, psychiatric evaluation services, and diagnostic testing. I can also provide basic and expanded functional lab workups as requested.
I see clients via telehealth (NYS wide) or for in-person sessions (Rochester, NY.) Please note that any prescriptions provided or basic lab work ordered is covered under your insurance plan's terms, despite our out-of-network status. Please call or email us above to schedule.
More Info About My Practice
I offer a personal, relaxed, and comfortable approach; shying away from the stigmatized power dynamics that can exist in a patient-provider relationship. I welcome everyone in my office with inclusivity, warmth, and compassion.
Together, we will collaborate on a personalized treatment plan with an integrative approach, highlighting the benefits of all treatment modalities including pharmacotherapy if right for you. I believe we can do better in the mental health profession, and I strive to uncover the root cause of illness through my functional and integrative approach. Above all else, working with me you will be heard, valued, and cared for as we embark on your journey to wellness together.
