Your initial appointment will be between 60 - 90 minutes, depending on your needs. If it's a child, the initial evaluation typically consists of time with adults and assessment time with a child.   During the initial appointment, you will have the opportunity to describe your health concerns and provide any information that you would like to share.  I will explore with you your current condition, your medical and mental health history, family history, social history, and other relevant topics. Please bring any prior records you would like to share and a list of prescription and over-the-counter medications.

Psychiatric evaluation includes a thorough evaluation, medical screening, and even genetic testing to find the best treatment for you. I will talk to you about your current concerns, and key background information, take a detailed history and review testing and lab results to come up with a treatment plan. Our treatment approach is not based on medication and therapy alone. I look beyond the symptoms to the root of what is going on. I believe that mental and physical health go hand and hand. Achieving wellness involves restoring the mind, body, and spirit
