My practice provides private psychiatric care with a focus on developing relationships and making positive life changes for children, adolescents, and adults. I use my training and experience in psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy to practice compassionate evidence-based psychotherapy and medication management.

The goal of our time together is to work toward development of the tools necessary to navigate the conflicts and complexities of relationships and life circumstances. At every stage of life, there are internal struggles and external stressors. My mission is to help provide a framework for overall happiness, health, and well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions

My practice specializes in the treatment of children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. I provide services for diagnostic evaluations, psychotherapy, and psychopharmacology. As a practitioner, I treat a wide array of psychiatric conditions and issues including mood disorders, personality disorders, behavioral and attentional disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, psychosis, and developmental disorders.
The initial appointment is the first step in the diagnostic process and lasts 50-55 minutes. The full evaluation typically takes between 2-4 sessions. During the initial evaluation process, I perform a diagnostic interview, gather historical information related to both mental and physical conditions and current well-being, review prior records of treatment, and recommend any additional assessments required. I believe that collaborating with therapists, school personnel, and other medical practitioners is a critical component to devising the most comprehensive diagnosis and effective treatment plan.

My practice is focused on providing individualized and comprehensive care, which can only be achieved by being as accessible and available as possible. I often have a waiting list for new consultations. If you have a more urgent need than I can accommodate, I can offer referrals to other colleagues with whom I have an established relationship in the community.
Please be aware I work Monday through Friday. As many of my patients are school-aged, they often prefer the afternoon and evening hours. These tend to be my busiest times, so they are reserved for established patients. I do not schedule initial evaluations during after-school hours.

My practice does not accept insurance plan payments. I am also not a Medicare, Medicaid, or other government healthcare agency provider. My services are not eligible for reimbursement by Medicare or Medicaid. Upon request, I will issue you an invoice (often called a Superbill) to submit to your commercial insurance for reimbursement according to your policy’s out-of-network coverage requirements.
Please contact your insurance provider to inquire about coverage inclusions and exclusions for out-of-network providers and services. Payment is required at the time of services and can be made via credit card, cash, or check. Please see the insurance data PDF for additional information on submitting your insurance claims.
