Perform virtual patient evaluations, gathering health histories and diagnosing and treating common mental health conditions. Work with patients to develop and carry out treatment strategies. Take the patient's preferences and limits into account and follow evidence-based guidelines for medicines and therapies. Track patient progress, evaluate results, and modify treatment programs as needed.
Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of individuals manage chronic mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. One accomplishment I’m particularly proud of is helping a patient who had struggled for years with treatment-resistant depression find the right combination of therapy and medication, leading to significant improvement in their quality of life and an eventual return to work View all
