  • 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.

  • Not every client requires medication. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to medications, so we will work together to find a treatment option that’s right for your needs. As a psychiatrist, my specialty and training are in medication management.

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

  • I do not accept insurance. I can provide a detailed receipt (superbill) that you may submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement, based on your insurance policy.

  • Rates are available upon request. Please contact me directly for more information.

  • Once we begin working together, you’ll receive access to a secure, HIPAA-compliant patient portal. You can store your credit card information there, and payments will be automatically processed after each session.
