Frequently Asked Questions

  • Your initial evaluation is a comprehensive appointment where we'll discuss your current concerns, symptoms, medical and mental health history, lifestyle, and goals for treatment. Together, we'll work to understand the bigger picture and create a personalized plan that feels right for you.


  • Yes. Medication may be recommended when clinically appropriate. However, treatment is never limited to medication alone. We take a holistic approach and explore all factors that may be contributing to how you're feeling.


  • No. Treatment decisions are made collaboratively. We will discuss available options, including medication, lifestyle changes, coping strategies, and other evidence-based approaches so you can make informed decisions about your care.


  • Benzodiazepines may be prescribed in select situations when clinically appropriate. However, they are not considered a first-line or long-term treatment option for most anxiety disorders. When used, they are prescribed at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary, with careful consideration of potential risks and benefits. My focus is on helping clients build sustainable, long-term solutions that support lasting wellness.
