Starting Medication:
A Decision That's Yours to Make

Deciding whether to try medication is personal, and for many people it marks a real turning point. The right medication can ease symptoms enough to give you room to do the deeper work of change, whether that happens in therapy, through healthier daily habits, or through new choices that reflect who you're becoming.

Perhaps you've never taken psychiatric medication and feel uneasy about side effects or the misinformation that circulates online. Or perhaps you've tried medication before and left feeling dismissed, or never found a plan that fit your needs. Either way, you deserve care that starts with listening.

In our work together, I'll help you understand what you're experiencing, why your symptoms may have shown up, and what role they may have played in your life so far. From there, we'll look at your options and build a plan around your goals.

Psychoeducation is at the core of my approach. I want you to leave each visit with a clear understanding of your treatment, so you can make decisions about your care with confidence.

My care is designed to work alongside the support you get from your other clinicians, building on the progress you're already making. Many of my clients also see a therapist regularly, and I often encourage it. Medication management and therapy tend to work best together.
