I am a provider at our Morgantown clinic who provides psychiatry services in-person and via telehealth. I aim to explore treatment choices with the patient including evidence-based practice for depression, recent studies, and different modalities of therapy. I will discuss medication choices, their risks and benefits, as well as the need for lifestyle changes and adjunctive therapy with my clients.
My goal is to work with the patient to find out what their individual needs and goals are and to work with them to find the optimal individualized treatment plan. I work to build a relationship with the patient to further assess and monitor progression as well as no change, minimal change, or worsening symptoms. I like to provide suggestions for positive lifestyle changes to further enhance medication treatment as well as suggest certain modalities of therapy that may best fit this individual’s needs. I use practical problem solving to ensure the safety, well-being, and adherence to the treatment plan.
