Medication Management

My field experience combined with my mental health background allows me to provide culturally competent care. I integrate both pharmacological and non pharmacological options to use a comprehensive approach to treatment. I work together with my clients to support their goals with or without medications. I will always opt out for non addictive options. If you are taking benzodiazepines or z-drugs on a regular basis, you will be better served with another clinician.

My field experience combined with my mental health background allows me to provide culturally competent care. I want you to feel heard by someone who understands! Whether you are interested in medications or not, I am looking forward to connecting with you and partnering with YOU to help YOU achieve satisfaction and success in life, while ultimately feeling empowered in YOUR own wellness journey.

My goal is to get you the results you desire at the minimum dosage required. Modern medications are true wonders in effectively improving mental health and life outcomes. But they can have downsides–including possible physical or psychological dependence, interactions with other medications you may be taking, or side effects. My job is to find the optimal regimen for you, maximizing benefits and minimizing or eliminating any potential downsides.

I believe it is important that everyone is fully informed and closely monitored when beginning medication. I enjoy finding the minimum possible dose with the maximum effect. Making sure you are progressing is very important to me.

Support via psychiatric medications or natural alternatives based on your preference. As a holistic provider my practice is very individualized and not one-size-fits-all. I utilize the best of both conventional medications and alternative treatments, carefully choosing what will have the best effect with the lowest likelihood of negative side effects for your individual needs.

Medication is an essential part of the treatment of many mental health concerns as they can manage, reduce, and/or eliminate symptoms, improving your overall well-being. Medication affects people uniquely, so I will evaluate your needs before prescribing medication. I will continually monitor your use of the medication(s) to ensure the desired outcome.

Medication intervention is not necessary for every situation, but in some cases it is appropriate and has proven to be highly effective when paired with therapy. For this reason, I work closely with a board certified psychiatrist with a background in internal medicine and over 30 years of experience. We are able to provide top notch holistic mental health services and streamline our clients' care.

I have been working in behavioral health for 20+ years and 13+ years in psychiatry. I have a wide variety of experience and also have some specific interests and areas of expertise working with youth (14+) and adult.

Safe prescribing of psychopharmacological medication requires up to date learning. As such, I manage my client's concerns through current evidenced based prescribing.

My role at Three Oaks Counseling is as a medication manager. I prescribe psychotropic medications to treat general psychiatry issues. I work to provide holistic treatments options for patients to choose from that include, but are not limited to medication management. I enjoy educating my clients on treatment options available to optimize their mental health.

In the current society, Medication management has taken a major misconception regarding an individual's mental health. Just like some individuals need insulin or blood pressure medication to help the body to function properly, others need mental health medication to balance dopamine, serotonin, adrenaline, and so on. Our providers understand not every medication works the same for every person so they collaborate with each individual till they find the right balance to live life to the fullest.

I specialize in prescribing medications to help individuals manage their mental health conditions. I work closely with them to discuss medication treatment options and engage in frequent follow ups to ensure they are tolerating the medication and benefiting from its use.

I have worked for the past 15 years in roles that focused on medication management in reference to psychotropic medications.
