With the right treatment individuals can learn to manage their symptoms and lead fulfilling and productive lives.
We offer Medication Management via Telepsychiatry/Virtual Visits for Adults offered in 2 Weeks or less. Our initial visits are 60 minutes, and follow-up visits are 15-30 minutes. You deserve support without delay. Don’t wait any longer for your care immediate options are available. Reach out today to start your journey toward healing.
What should a new client know about working with you?
What to Expect When Working with Me
As your psychiatric provider, I create a safe, supportive space where you can speak openly without fear of judgment. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in evidence-based care.
You’re in control: I view treatment as a partnership. Together, we’ll explore your symptoms, goals, and preferences to build a plan that’s right for you whether that includes medication, therapy referrals, or lifestyle changes.
Whole-person focus: Mental health is deeply connected to your physical health, stress levels, and environment. I consider the full picture when diagnosing and recommending care.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My Typical Process for Working with Clients
1. Initial Evaluation (60 minutes):
We begin with a comprehensive psychiatric assessment. I’ll ask about your mental health history, current symptoms, medications, lifestyle, and goals. This helps us get a full picture of your needs.
2. Personalized Treatment Planning:
Based on your evaluation, we’ll develop a treatment plan together. This might include medication management, therapy referrals, wellness strategies, or lifestyle adjustments. I always take time to explain options and answer your questions.
3. Ongoing Medication Management (15–30 minutes):
Follow-up visits are scheduled regularly (usually every 1–4 weeks) to monitor progress, adjust medications if needed, and discuss how you're feeling. These sessions are collaborative and supportive.
4. Continuity & Communication:
You’ll have access to secure messaging for quick questions, refill requests, or updates between sessions. I also coordinate care with therapists and primary care providers when appropriate with your consent.
5. Virtual & Flexible:
All sessions are conducted via secure video, no travel, no waiting rooms. Appointment times are flexible to fit your schedule.

More information on payments and coverage
Insurance Coverage:
We accept most major commercial insurance plans. Before your first appointment, we’ll verify your benefits so you know exactly what’s covered and what (if anything) you may owe. If you have a copay, coinsurance, or deductible, we’ll clearly explain how it applies to your visit.
Out-of-Pocket Payments:
If you're not using insurance, we offer transparent self-pay pricing for all services. Rates are competitive and provided upfront no surprises. Payment is due at the time of service and can be made easily online via credit/debit card.
Telehealth Simplicity:
All appointments are held virtually from the comfort of your home no commuting or waiting rooms. You'll receive a secure video link prior to each session. Telehealth visits are typically covered the same way as in-person visits by most insurers.
Support & Assistance:
We’re happy to walk you through your insurance questions or discuss flexible options if you’re paying out-of-pocket. If your plan requires a referral or prior authorization, we’ll help guide you through that process too.
