What should a new client know about working with you?
As a psychiatric provider, I provide evidence-based, compassionate, and patient-centered care tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I believe in building a collaborative therapeutic relationship in which clients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their treatment decisions.
My approach emphasizes thorough assessment, accurate diagnosis, and thoughtful medication management, with careful attention to benefits, risks, and long-term outcomes. I prioritize clear communication, education, and realistic goal-setting so clients understand their treatment plan and feel empowered throughout the process.
I value consistency, transparency, and professionalism. Appointments are structured, focused, and respectful of your time. I encourage open dialogue about symptoms, concerns, and treatment preferences, and I integrate clinical best practices with current psychiatric guidelines to support optimal outcomes.
My goal is to help clients achieve symptom stability, improved functioning, and a better quality of life through individualized, ethical, and comprehensive mental health care.
I provide comprehensive, evidence-based psychiatric care for individuals experiencing attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), mood disorders, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, sleep disorders, difficulties with concentration, and stress-related concerns. My approach is collaborative and patient-centered, focusing on understanding how symptoms affect your daily functioning, relationships, and overall quality of life.
I conduct thorough evaluations and develop individualized treatment plans that may include medication management, psychoeducation, and supportive strategies tailored to your specific needs and goals. I place strong emphasis on careful medication selection, monitoring effectiveness, minimizing side effects, and adjusting treatment thoughtfully over time.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My process begins with a comprehensive initial evaluation to understand your concerns, symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, and treatment goals. During this first appointment, we review current and past medications, prior treatment responses, lifestyle factors, and any relevant medical information to ensure an accurate diagnosis and safe treatment plan.
Based on this assessment, I develop an individualized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This may include medication management, psychoeducation, and practical strategies to support symptom control, emotional regulation, focus, sleep, and stress management. I take time to explain treatment options, expected benefits, and potential side effects so you can make informed decisions.
Follow-up appointments focus on monitoring progress, evaluating medication effectiveness, adjusting treatment as needed, and addressing new or ongoing concerns. I encourage open communication and collaboration, and I work with you to refine your treatment plan over time.
Throughout care, I prioritize consistency, safety, and continuity. My goal is to support symptom improvement, functional stability, and long-term mental wellness through structured, evidence-based psychiatric care.

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $240 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $120 for 30 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
More information on payments and coverage
Insurance coverage and out-of-pocket costs vary depending on your individual plan. I encourage all patients to verify their mental health benefits directly with their insurance provider prior to the first appointment, including information about copays, deductibles, coinsurance, and authorization requirements. While my office may assist with general insurance questions, patients are ultimately responsible for understanding their coverage.
Payment is due at the time of service. Copays, deductibles, and self-pay balances are collected according to your insurance plan or agreed-upon fee schedule. For convenience, a valid payment method may be required to be kept on file to process any applicable charges, including late cancellations or no-show fees, in accordance with the practice’s policies.
For patients who are self-pay or whose insurance does not cover certain services, self-pay rates may be available and will be discussed transparently in advance. I am committed to providing ethical, straightforward billing practices and encourage patients to ask questions about costs or coverage at any time.
