I have honed my skills the past 6 years in telehealth specializing in mental health including controlled substances , weight loss including GLP1 agonists, and primary care. I collaborate successfully with both NP and PA practices where I have an open door policy and enjoy discussing any questions that may arise while not encroaching on the NP​​/​​PAs autonomy.
