If you would like to consider working with me as your psychiatrist, you may reach out by completing an <intake form> found on the <contact> page. I will contact you within 48 business hours to schedule a complimentary 15-minute phone conversation where we’ll discuss your needs and determine if we are a good fit.
If we are compatible, we can proceed with scheduling your 90-minute intake appointment. During this initial session, I will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your medical and psychiatric history. We’ll also discuss your goals for psychiatric treatment and collaboratively formulate a treatment plan.

If you’re already working with a therapist, I’m happy to collaborate with them to ensure you receive comprehensive and well-integrated care.
