Message to clients

I specialize in:

*ADHD (evaluation, diagnosis and medication management)

*Depression treatment

*Anxiety disorders

*Medication optimization for patients not responding to current treatment

My approach is individualized and. solution-focused. I take time to understand your symptoms, history and goals, then develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to you. For patients who have struggled to find the right medication, I incorporate Gene Sight Testing to provide more personalized recommendations. I also offer auricular acupuncture as an additional supportive option when appropriate. My goal is to provide effective straightforward care without unnecessary complexity or long delays.

During your initial visit, we will complete a comprehensive evaluation to better understand your symptoms, history and needs. From there we will discuss diagnosis (if appropriate) and develop a clear treatment plan, which may include medication and additional supportive options when appropriate.

Follow up visits focus on monitoring progress, adjusting treatment, and ensuring you are getting the best possible results.

I work best with individuals who are:

*seeking evaluation or diagnosis for ADHD, anxiety or depression

*open to medication management as part of treatment

*looking for a clear, structured approach to improving symptoms

I am conveniently located in Pawtucket Rhode Island and serve the greater Providence area and Southeastern Massachusetts.

We also offer Medical Marijuana Licensing in the State of Rhode Island for approved conditions.
