I believe good care starts with listening. I want you to feel truly heard and understood, and I take the time to get to know the whole picture—not just what you're struggling with, but the circumstances, relationships, stressors, and goals that are part of your life.
I take a thoughtful, conservative approach to medication and always consider what will best support your overall wellbeing. My hope is to help you feel better, live more fully, and reach your highest potential. When you're going through a difficult season, I'm here to walk alongside you and help you find a way forward.
And because I practice in a small community, I know how important privacy and discretion are. You can trust that I'll respect your privacy and your relationship with me, both inside the clinic and out in the community.
Hi, I’m Lorraine.
Services
We provide personalized psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, and ongoing treatment for children, adolescents, and adults.
We care for a range of mental health concerns, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and other mood and behavioral disorders.
Our approach considers each person's symptoms, health history, circumstances, and goals to develop thoughtful, individualized care.
-
A thorough evaluation is the first step toward understanding what you are experiencing. We assess your symptoms, history, and overall health to determine whether a mental health condition may be contributing to your concerns and to identify appropriate treatment options.
-
ADHD can affect attention, organization, motivation, emotional regulation, and everyday functioning. Our evaluation process looks at your symptoms and history to determine whether ADHD may be contributing to your experiences.
When appropriate, we provide ongoing treatment and medication management to help you manage symptoms and function more effectively in daily life.
-
Anxiety, depression, and mood disorders can affect how you think, feel, sleep, work, and relate to others. We provide evaluation and ongoing treatment for a variety of mood and anxiety-related concerns.
Treatment is individualized to your symptoms, health, circumstances, and goals, with regular follow-up to assess how you are doing and adjust your care when needed.
-
We provide evaluation and treatment for bipolar disorder and a range of conditions involving mood, emotional, and behavioral dysregulation. This may include disruptive and impulse-control disorders, as well as other conditions that can affect emotional regulation, behavior, and daily functioning.
We consider symptoms within the context of a patient's developmental stage, environment, history, and overall health. Treatment may include medication management, ongoing monitoring, and collaboration with patients and families to support meaningful progress.
-
Medication can be an important part of treatment for many mental health conditions. We take a thoughtful, individualized approach to prescribing, considering your symptoms, medical history, other medications, treatment goals, and response to treatment.
Medication management includes ongoing follow-up, monitoring for effectiveness and side effects, and making adjustments when appropriate. We work with you to make informed decisions about your treatment rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
-
Mental health treatment is not always a one-time decision. As your symptoms, circumstances, and goals change, your treatment may need to change as well.
Through regular follow-up visits, we monitor your progress, discuss concerns, review medications, and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Our goal is to provide consistent care and support over time.
