A thorough and comprehensive initial evaluation to understand your history, goals, and concerns
Clear communication and transparency about diagnosis and treatment options

What is your typical process for working with clients?
A typical process when working with me includes:
Initial Evaluation:
A comprehensive psychiatric and medical assessment
Review of mental health history, substance use history, medical conditions, and current medications
Discussion of symptoms, stressors, lifestyle factors, and personal treatment goals
Diagnostic clarification using evidence-based criteria
Development of an individualized treatment plan
Treatment Planning:
Clear explanation of diagnosis and available treatment options
Discussion of medication choices, benefits, risks, and alternatives
Shared decision-making to determine the best approach for you
For substance use disorders: evaluation for medication treatment such as Suboxone (buprenorphine), naltrexone, or Vivitrol, along with harm-reduction planning
Ongoing Sessions:
Medication management and symptom monitoring
Supportive, solution-focused therapeutic interventions
Relapse prevention strategies (when applicable)
Adjustment of medications based on response and side effects
Coordination of care with therapists or other providers when needed
While my primary focus is psychiatric evaluation and medication management, I incorporate brief therapeutic techniques, psychoeducation, and coping strategies into each session. I also encourage therapy referrals when longer-term psychotherapy would be beneficial.
My goal is to provide structured, evidence-based care while maintaining a supportive and collaborative partnership throughout your treatment journey.

Don’t see your insurance?
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $275 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $150 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
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront

This experience truly deserves 10 stars. From my first appointment, I felt completely at ease. He is genuine, compassionate, and refreshingly nonjudgmental. It’s rare to find a provider who not only listens but truly hears you, and that’s exactly how I felt throughout my visit. He takes time to clearly explain what’s happening with your body in a thoughtful, easy-to-understand way. I never felt rushed or dismissed—only informed and empowered. What stood out most was his empathy. Even when discussing new and scary health concerns, he was reassuring and kind, never making me feel embarrassed or overwhelmed. I walked in anxious about my diagnosis and left feeling hopeful and confident. He truly feels invested in my well-being and committed to supporting me every step of the way. I’m grateful to have found a provider who combines expertise with genuine compassion. Highly recommend.
