Men’s Health & Low Testosterone Treatment
What is low testosterone (Low T)?
Low testosterone (Low T) occurs when the body produces insufficient testosterone, leading to symptoms like fatigue, low libido, erectile dysfunction, muscle loss, and mood changes. It can affect men of all ages but is more common as men get older.
How do I know if I have low testosterone?
Symptoms of Low T include reduced energy, brain fog, loss of muscle mass, increased body fat, and changes in mood. A simple early morning blood test can confirm if your testosterone levels are low. If your level is low, we will repeat this lab to confirm the results, and rule out secondary causes prior to starting treatment.
What are the treatment options for low testosterone?
BeWellBerlin offers customized Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), including:
- Testosterone injections (weekly or biweekly)
- Topical testosterone gels/creams (applied daily)
- Clomiphene (Oral pill to increase production of natural testosterone)
Mental Health & Medication Management
What mental health services are available at Be Well Berlin?
I offer comprehensive mental health care, including medication management and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help patients navigate anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia, ADHD, and other mental health challenges. My approach is holistic, considering both physical and mental health factors to create a personalized treatment plan.
What training in mental health do you have?
I have both personal and family experience with mental health challenges and ADHD, which has deeply influenced my commitment to providing accessible, high-quality mental health care in the primary care setting. Recognizing the barriers to seeing a psychiatrist, I have prioritized mental health treatment throughout my career.
Since 2017, I have been treating mental health conditions, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques and Motivational Interviewing to support patients with anxiety, depression, ADHD, insomnia, and other behavioral health concerns.
Additionally, I am currently pursuing a Fellowship in Psychiatry & Behavioral Health in the primary care setting at UCI School of Medicine. This advanced training enhances my ability to integrate psychiatric care within primary care, ensuring a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to mental wellness.

Are you a psychiatrist?
No, I am a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) with advanced training in mental health and behavioral health integration. I provide comprehensive mental health care, including medication management and counseling, to support patients with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other mental health conditions.
While I can effectively manage most mental health concerns, there are cases that may require specialized psychiatric care. If a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner would be a better fit for your needs, I will help coordinate a referral to a higher level of care to ensure you receive the best possible support.

How much does mental health care cost without insurance?
If cost is an issue, I recommend signing up for our monthly membership, which includes up to 1 appointment per month for $100 per month.
Hair Loss Treatment (PRP & Medications)
How does PRP help with hair loss?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses your body's platelets to stimulate hair growth and strengthen thinning hair. It’s a safe, non-surgical option for male and female pattern baldness.
How much does PRP hair loss treatment cost?
PRP hair restoration typically costs $400 per session, depending on the number of treatments needed. We offer package discounts for multiple sessions. PRP is typically given once monthly for 3 months, then every 3-6 months for maintenance
Do you offer oral or topical medications for hair loss?
Yes! We prescribe FDA-approved hair loss medications like Finasteride (Propecia), Minoxidil (Loniten / Rogaine), Dutasteride (Avodart), and Spironolactone (Aldactone) depending on your needs.
Botox for Migraines & Aesthetic Treatments
Is Botox safe for migraines?
Yes! Botox is FDA-approved for chronic migraines and helps reduce headache frequency by relaxing muscles and blocking pain signals.
How long does Botox for migraines last?
Results last about 12 weeks per treatment, and most patients require Botox injections every three months for continued relief.
Do you offer cosmetic Botox for wrinkles?
Yes! In addition to medical Botox for migraines, we offer Botox for frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles.
Do you offer other treatments for Migraines?
Yes! We offer trigger point injections, typical migraine treatment like beta-blockers (propranolol), tricyclic antidepressants (amitriptyline / nortriptyline), anticonvulsants (topiramate) and the newer CGRP medications such as Aimovig, Ajovy, Nurtec, and Qulipta.
LGBTQ+ & Gender-Affirming Care
Do you offer hormone therapy for transgender patients?
Yes! We provide HRT (hormone replacement therapy) for transgender and nonbinary patients, including testosterone and estrogen therapy.
Can I get PrEP for HIV prevention at BeWellBerlin?

Medical Weight Loss
What weight loss treatments do you offer?
We provide GLP-1 weight loss medications (Semaglutide / Wegovy, Tirzepatide / Zepbound), customized diet plans, and lifestyle coaching to help you reach your goals. Additional treatments include Contrave.
Is medical weight loss covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan, but we help with prior authorizations for medications like Wegovy and Zepbound. Please contact your insurance regarding coverage as each plan is unique.
Are there affordable options for weight loss medications if my insurance doesn’t cover them?
We also work with compounding pharmacies if the cost of the medication is an issue, or you require substandard dosages due to side effects. Contrave can be sent as it’s generic components, bupropion and naltrexone if cost is an issue.
