Psychiatric Evaluation
We'll work together to explore your symptoms, their origins, and their impact. This will provide us with a clearer picture to create your personalized treatment plan. We will alsoset measurable goals to track your progress and celebrate your successes.
I strive to create an environment that honors individual views on psychiatry, medication and holistic solutions. We will collaborate to develop a care plan that treats all of you —body, mind, and spirit. We’ll do so using a balanced mix of medication, psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, to foster resilience and well-being.

Medication Management
Together, we'll review your history, symptoms, and medications to create a clear, effective plan. We'll meet often enough to track your progress, quickly address any issues, and celebrate each step forward.
I have experience supporting people with complex health needs and collaborating with their care teams. You deserve a psychiatrist who sees the full picture and is passionate about helping you build a vibrant, fulfilling life.

Integrative Care
Natural supplements can work alongside medications to support healing and may even help reduce the amount of medication you need. Herbal remedies might also be an option—either on their own or carefully combined with prescriptions—to ease symptoms and promote balance.
We'll take a thoughtful look at your nutrition and movement to see how they might be affecting your mental health. From there we can build a supportive plan that improves exercise and healthy eating.
Have you thought about sound therapy, aromatherapy, or light therapy?. Many of my patients have found some of these to be incredibly useful in boosting well-being. We'll create a personalized plan that feels right for you and honors your values every step of the way.

Basic and Specialized Lab Testing
I order labs to help rule out any medical conditions or nutritional deficiencies that might be affecting your mental health. When needed, I can also order specialized testing to take a closer look at your adrenal health, hormone balance, and gut function. Understanding the whole picture is key to getting you to feel your very best.

Both women have speech bubbles above their heads. The speech bubble from the woman on the left contains a tangled, colorful scribble, indicating confusion or difficulty in expressing thoughts. The speech bubble from the woman on the right contains three colored balls connected by lines, representing clear communication or organized thoughts.]()
Therapy
I offer targeted psychotherapy to help you focus on specific challenges so that you may move through them with support and clarity. Our work together will combine different approaches to give you practical tools for making healthier choices and building a stronger path forward. I draw from a variety of modalities, including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). We will also practice mindfulness and grounding techniques to support lasting change.
My Treatment Philosophy
People have faced emotional and mental health challenges for as long as we’ve walked this earth. Across time and cultures, many healing traditions including holistic and modern medicine have offered valuable tools for well-being. I believe the most effective care draws from the best of these approaches, integrating them to support the whole person.
We are not simply the sum of symptoms or diagnoses. We are complex, interconnected beings—body, mind, and spirit. I believe that true healing happens when all of these parts are honored and addressed. My goal is to partner with you in this kind of care. One that is thoughtful, integrative, and centered on your unique path to wellness.
Step 1- Request your Complimentary 15 Minute Call
During this call, we'll assess our compatibility for working together. You'll share your reasons for seeking care and preferences for treatment or support. I'll explain my approach and address any questions you have. If you decide to proceed, we'll schedule your initial consultation.
Step 2- Complete Intake Forms
You'll receive forms for our initial consultation, covering lifestyle, medical history, goals, and symptoms. Your responses are reviewed beforehand to ensure a productive first appointment.
Step 3- Schedule an Intake Appointment
Our first appointment is usually a longer appointment. This allows you ample time to share your story and discuss how your symptoms impact your life. Typically this is a one time appointment. After this we will have follow up appointments, which are shorter and significantly less expensive.
90 min Psychiatric Evaluation - $450. I will review your intake forms, medical history and any medical records sent over prior to your appointment. When we meet we will discuss your goals for treatment as well as your values and expectations. Labs may also be ordered. All of this helps us partner together to create a treatment plan that is both effective and fits your values.
120 min Intgetrative Psychiatric Evaluation - $595. This includes everything in the above Psychiatric Evaluation, plus a more in depth discussion regarding integration of holistic modalities into your treatment plan. This may include supplements, herbal remedies, more extensive lab testing such as vitamin levels, hormone levels etc. as well as therapy and lifestyle coaching.
Step 4- Follow-Up Appointments
Follow-up appointments are available in 25- or 50-minute sessions, with frequency based on your needs and progress. These visits allow us to evaluate your response to treatment, address concerns, and make adjustments to ensure the best outcomes for your mental health.
25 minute follow up - $195 This appointment type covers basic medication management including dose adjustments, potential side effects, review of labs and brief discussion of other potential modalities.
50 min follow up - $295 This appointment type includes a more thorough dive into how each element of the treatment plan is progressing with possibilities including medication management, targeted talk therapy, lifestyle coaching, as well as discussion and implementation of other modalities.
Working Together

To support you in using any out of network benefits you may have, I can provide statements (aka superbills) that can be submitted for reimbursement.
