Medications are just a piece of the puzzle- but they can be a very critical and life changing piece for many. I believe every person knows their body and lived experience better than anyone else and thus the decision to be on psychotropic medication must be based on a strong partnership between the patient and the prescriber. Evidence-based care, trauma-informed care, respect, and empathy are guiding principles of my practice model.
