Care is tailored to each stage of life, taking into account developmental, medical, and psychological factors.

💊 Do you prescribe medications?
Yes. I provide evidence-based psychiatric medication management tailored to your individual needs.

Not always.
The initial visit is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, where we take time to fully understand your history, symptoms, and goals before making treatment decisions.
• Medication may or may not be prescribed during the first visit

However:
• They are not guaranteed at the first visit

🔁 How often are follow-up appointments?
Follow-up frequency depends on your treatment plan, but typically:
• Initial follow-ups may be every 2–4 weeks
