AT IHA, I PROVIDE MEDICATION MANAGEMENT IN CALIFORNIA FOR CLIENTS IN CORONA DEL MAR, RANCHO CUCAMONGA, AND ACROSS THE STATE.

 I also offer telehealth sessions for those who prefer care from home.

Psychiatric medications can be powerful tools when used intentionally, consistently monitored, and matched to your unique biology. I don’t see you as a list of symptoms. I see you as a whole person. That means listening to your experiences, reviewing lab results when appropriate, and keeping your long-term health and well-being at the forefront.

If you’ve felt overmedicated, dismissed, or left to handle side effects on your own, my goal is to do things differently. I want medication to work for you, not against you, and to be part of a plan that supports your entire mental health journey.

Medication management is more than prescribing pills. It is a thoughtful, personalized process that helps you:

  • Understand the benefits and risks of your medications

  • Track your response to treatments over time

  • Adjust doses and combinations safely

  • Monitor side effects and interactions

  • Support your overall mental and physical health

Through medication management in California, I integrate your medical history, lab results, lifestyle, and therapy goals to ensure medications support your progress instead of creating new challenges.

WHAT IS MEDICATION MANAGEMENT

When you start with me, we first review your history, including:

☼ Current and past medications

☼ Responses, side effects, and concerns

☼ Lab results that may impact treatment

☼ Lifestyle factors, sleep patterns, nutrition, and stress

From there, we co-create a plan that is flexible and responsive. I check in regularly to monitor effectiveness and adjust as needed. Some sessions are in-person at our offices in Corona del Mar or Rancho Cucamonga, while others can be conducted via telehealth for convenience and consistency.

HOW MEDICATION MANAGEMENT WORKS

During follow-ups, I focus on:

  • Assessing how the medication is working for you

  • Adjusting doses gradually and safely

  • Exploring alternative options if needed

  • Coordinating with your therapists, primary care providers, or other specialists

Medication is most effective when it is part of a comprehensive mental health plan. I work collaboratively with you and your care team to make sure every aspect of your health is considered.
