Medication Management Psychiatrists in Oregon City, OR

Lost your keys? You misplaced the phone you were using a minute ago and then asked your loved one, "Can you call it again?" Do you see the same patterns in your child? ADHD can run in families with symptoms that present as primarily inattentive, mostly hyperactive-impulsive, or a combination of both types of symptoms. Many other problems can present as ADHD, like sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, and certain types of learning disabilities. Sometimes, you can have co-occurring conditions that need to be evaluated and treated with medications.

I believe that patients are essential members of their healthcare team and should be involved in making decisions that affect their wellbeing. Patients are often experts of their own body and experiences; if not, we will work through blockages disconnecting oneself from one's body to gain insights. It can be overwhelming to seek help for mental health and be vulnerable with a new provider, so I want patients to know that I am here for you with an open heart and nonjudgmental mind. Since I have worked with patients who felt misunderstood or mistreated by healthcare professionals, I intentionally endeavor to break that pattern.
