“I have always been passionate about mental health and have enjoyed learning about how to improve my own life and personal interactions by optimizing the way my brain works for me. I opened my clinic in 2017 with the hopes of helping a friend for whom traditional treatment modalities had failed. I was dissatisfied by the often ineffective “available” treatment options, many of which come with burdensome side effects when attempting to treat treatment resistant disorders. It became my mission to seek out additional, novel treatment options which led to my interest in IV ketamine administration. It often produces robust, rapid effects and lacks the dreaded side effects between treatments. I have seen remarkable results with ketamine infusions in my clinic and it is exciting to be able to offer this amazing treatment option”.
