The Process

I provide a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to get to know one another and determine if we are well-suited to work together. If you're interested in scheduling a consultation call with me, please click here.

Before our initial appointment, I'll send you an intake form to fill out. It covers your health history and your goals. I thoroughly review your information in advance, so that I can ask meaningful questions and focus more on understanding your story during our time together. This preparation allows us to dive straight into addressing your needs and building a personalized treatment plan.

This initial online appointment allows us to understand your background, symptoms, and health goals. I will spend time getting to know you and your current struggles. We will discuss your health history and previous care.
At the end I will recommend a treatment plan tailored to your goals which might include medications, labs tests, nutrition, sleep, movement, supplements, and additional coaching.
-
Depending on your specific history, I may recommend labs to screen for medical conditions and nutritional deficiencies that could be contributing to your symptoms. I may also send you psychiatric scales that help me get a clearer picture of your symptoms and establish a baseline that will help us track your progress over time.

Two follow-up appointment lengths are available: 50 or 25 minutes.
50 minute sessions are ideal for medication management, coaching sessions, review of test results, and incorporating additional integrative techniques as needed.

All appointments are conducted via virtual telehealth appointments at this time. I may recommend in-person visits in the future based upon my clinical discretion.
