About my practice

 

A Behavioral Health Consultant (BHC) is a licensed mental health provider who works alongside primary care physicians within the medical office to support your overall health and well being. This integrated care model allows primary care and behavioral health providers to collaborate closely as a team to meet your needs.  If specialty care is needed, your BHC or primary care physician will talk with you about your options and help connect you to the services that best fit your situation. In general, BHCs can screen for mental health and substance use concerns and offer short term visits focused on reducing distressing symptoms and improving daily functioning.  BHCs also play an important role in coordinating care, helping ensure that your primary care team and any specialty providers are working together seamlessly. In many cases, only a few visits are needed; however, if longer term care is appropriate, a BHC can help connect you with the right specialist.

 

How I thrive

 

I enjoy visiting the ocean as often as possible and spending time with my family, four-legged family members, and friends.
