Being Health Questions
What should a new client know about working with you?
I strongly believe that treatment is a collaborative and transparent process where we decide together what our goals of working together are . My initial goal is for us both to explore and understand what brings you to treatment and what factors contribute to what you are experiencing now so that we can best understand what changes or interventions may be the most helpful. These might include different forms of psychotherapy, medication management, nutritional interventions or changes, somatic therapies, novel treatments such as ketamine therapy, or some combination of the above.
Do you have experience working with any specific types of patients?
I work closely with people whose depression hasn’t improved with traditional treatments to help them find relief. This includes conducting interventional psychiatry consultations to determine whether innovative options like Spravato® or IV/IM ketamine could be a fit, and providing ongoing care and oversight throughout their treatment journey.
In addition, I have experience working with LGBTQI individuals, individuals with a history of traumatic experiences, as well as individuals with diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, including individuals seeking asylum in the United States and individuals who are unhoused or unstably housed.
How do you decide if I’m a candidate for Spravato® or IV/IM ketamine therapy?
Spravato® or IV/IM ketamine may be options if you’re an adult living with treatment-resistant depression—typically defined as depression that hasn’t improved after trying at least two antidepressant medications. If you’re experiencing major depressive disorder (MDD) with acute suicidal thoughts or behavior, Spravato® treatment for depression might be a fit.
At Being Health, one of our psychiatrists will meet with you for an initial consultation to evaluate your symptoms, treatment history, and overall health. If either Spravato® or IV/IM ketamine is a good fit for you, we’ll guide you through every step from insurance authorization to ongoing treatment and monitoring.
What do you find most interesting about Being Health's integrated care model?
I believe that the path toward mental and emotional wellbeing is a path toward wholeness and a path of finding connection between mind, body, spirit and community. So often, though, mental health treatment is siloed with different providers for a given individual rarely having the opportunity to communicate or collaborate. What sets Being Health apart is its integrated approach to mental health treatment where someone can trust that their whole being will be cared for and where each clinician, no matter the discipline, honors the interconnectivity of mind and body.
What’s the most memorable trip you’ve ever taken?
My most memorable trip was to Cape Town, South Africa where I got to visit Boulders Beach, one of the only places in the world where one can get up close to African penguins.
