Medication Management

Medication management with me is a careful, collaborative process-not just writing a prescription and hoping for the best. I combine decades of psychiatric experience with your lived experience to find an approach that improves your symptoms while honoring your comfort, safety, and preferences.

If medication may be helpful, I begin with a Psychiatric Medication Evaluation. In this visit, I review your diagnosis, prior medication trials, side effects, medical history, and goals. Together, we decide whether to start, continue, or change medications, and I outline what to expect in plain language.

As treatment continues, Medication Adjustment Consultations allow us to fine‑tune dose and timing so you get the most benefit with the fewest side effects. Side Effect Monitoring is built into your care, so you have a place to bring up even subtle changes in sleep, appetite, mood, or energy. You are never expected to "just put up with it."

For clients taking several medications, I offer Polypharmacy Reviews to look at everything you are on-psychiatric and non‑psychiatric-to reduce unnecessary risks and interactions. Medication Adherence Support provides practical strategies and check‑ins if remembering doses, managing refills, or staying consistent has been a struggle.

Prescription Renewal Services are handled through secure telehealth, minimizing last‑minute pharmacy stress while still keeping your care thoughtful and safe. Throughout, I invite your questions, respect your concerns, and never pressure you into a decision.

My aim is for you to feel informed and in control of your medication plan, with a trusted partner beside you as you work toward steadier mood, clearer thinking, and a life that feels more manageable day to day.
