Specializing in medication management, Meraki Health provides careful evaluation and ongoing monitoring of psychiatric medications to ensure safety, effectiveness, and optimal outcomes. Providers work closely with patients to tailor treatment plans, adjust dosages as needed, and combine medication with therapy and lifestyle strategies to support overall mental health and long-term wellness.

At Meraki Health, medication management is a collaborative and personalized process focused on safety, effectiveness, and overall well-being. We conduct thorough evaluations, carefully select and adjust medications as needed, and provide ongoing monitoring and education. Our goal is to ensure optimal symptom control while minimizing side effects, empowering clients to feel confident and supported in their treatment.

I provide comprehensive psychiatric medication management within a holistic, integrative framework that considers the whole person—not just symptoms. My approach is collaborative and evidence-based, focusing on selecting and optimizing medications while also addressing lifestyle factors such as sleep, stress, nutrition, and overall well-being that impact mental health. When appropriate, I offer pharmacogenetic testing, including GeneSight, to help guide medication selection and improve the likelihood of finding effective, well-tolerated treatment options. I work closely with each client to develop a personalized treatment plan that supports stability, improves functioning, and aligns with their goals and values. When appropriate, I also integrate supportive therapy and practical coping strategies to promote long-term healing, balance, and overall wellness.

We provide psychological care that includes close collaboration with prescribing providers to support effective medication management when medication is part of treatment. Our approach integrates psychotherapy with ongoing monitoring of symptoms, side effects, and overall functioning to ensure coordinated and comprehensive care. We work with clients to understand how medication fits within their broader treatment plan, while also focusing on evidence-based therapeutic strategies to address emotional, cognitive, and behavioral concerns. The goal is to optimize outcomes through a well-coordinated, team-based approach to mental health care.

Savannah is one of the American South's most historically significant cities, a port town with deep antebellum roots, a large Black community whose history is inseparable from the city's identity, and a growing creative and tourism economy anchored by the Savannah College of Art and Design, which brings thousands of students and a vibrant arts community into the city each year. The mental health landscape reflects the sharp racial wealth gap that persists from Savannah's history, with Black residents facing disproportionate barriers to mental health care in a city where the private therapy sector largely serves white and SCAD-connected communities. Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield nearby create additional demand for military and veteran mental health services within the broader metro area. Common therapy concerns include trauma, anxiety, depression, identity and cultural stress, and the experience of building a creative life in a beautiful but economically complex city.
