I help people experiencing a variety of mental health concerns get on the path to feeling better. I care about you and your goals, and you can receive care from the comfort of home. I provide medication management and supportive psychotherapy for a variety of mental health diagnoses. I offer virtual care via HIPPAA-compliant Telehealth. Should your treatment plan include medication, your prescription will be sent to your pharmacy of choice.
I am a small, part-time practice and I value your time and mine and do not want to waste either. To start, you must book a free initial consultation and complete and submit the consultation form. I usually have same-week availability, so you can begin care soon. If we are a good fit for each other, you’ll meet with me by video, or limited in-person sessions, to talk through what you’re experiencing and what your goals are. Together, we’ll come up with a plan that you’re comfortable with and start right away. After that, we’ll meet regularly to make sure your plan is working.

No, I do not prescribe stimulants, benzodiazepines, or sedative-hypnotics (ex: amphetamine/Adderall, alprazolam/Xanax, clonazepam/Klonopin, zolpidem/Ambien, zaleplon/Sonata, etc.). Please take a moment to read about the risks of using benzodiazepines. I would be happy to discuss alternative medications with you for the management of your symptoms. If you are currently prescribed a benzodiazepine or stimulant by another provider, I will be unable to take over the prescription.
