Dual board-certified in psychiatric-mental health and family practice

Michael has practiced as a nurse practitioner since 2016, with experience across mental health and complex medical care. Today his practice focuses on psychiatric medication management.

He'll explain the why. A lot of psychiatric care happens without anyone telling you what's actually going on. Michael works the other way — helping you understand why your brain works the way it does, why a particular medication makes sense for you, and how it fits alongside the practical things that shape how you feel. Understanding the reasoning makes the decisions yours.

Every visit is with him. Not an intake coordinator, not a rotating panel — the same clinician who starts your treatment plan is the one who adjusts it over time. Medication management is careful, incremental work, and it goes better when the person making each adjustment already knows your history.

He treats the whole picture. His dual training means your psychiatric care is considered alongside the rest of your health — how a medication interacts with a physical condition, whether a symptom is psychiatric or something else. Fewer things fall through the gap between specialties.
