Understanding what your mind and body are experiencing
Deciding whether to discontinue an anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medication can bring up a lot of questions. While every person's experience is unique, there is growing recognition that coming off these medications can involve significant adjustments for the brain and nervous system. A gradual, individualized taper allows the process to unfold at a pace that supports the brain and body’s natural ability to adapt.

Supporting your nervous system through change
Whether you are currently navigating withdrawal symptoms after a too-rapid taper or considering a taper in the future, having support from a provider who understands the complexities of medication reduction can make a meaningful difference. Together, we can focus on a gentle, individualized approach that honors your nervous system, how long you have been on the medication, and the importance of moving slowly. I work collaboratively with your deprescribing psychiatrist to support thoughtful communication, help you navigate the emotional and nervous system aspects of tapering, and ensure you feel supported throughout the process.
Therapy provides a consistent space to process each stage of medication reduction while supporting your nervous system through the changes and uncertainty that can arise. Rather than focusing only on symptom management, we’ll work toward building a sense of agency, helping you listen to your body’s signals, trust your experience, and feel more confident as you decrease your dose over time.

Working alongside your medical team
Medication decisions should always be made in collaboration with the deprescribing clinician managing your care. While your prescribing physician will create your tapering schedule, I’m here to help you listen to your body, advocate for a pace that feels right for you, and normalize the changes you may experience along the way.
As an OUTRO Preferred Provider, I understand the importance of collaborative, informed care.
