Effortless Scheduling: Direct access to my personal line and a comprehensive patient portal for scheduling and paperwork. ​ Detailed Intake: Thorough pre-appointment paperwork and a comprehensive review to ensure a well-prepared and focused first meeting. ​ Personalized Communication: Direct email access for questions and a preliminary phone call to build rapport and clarify expectations. ​ After confirming that a prospective patient is a right fit for my practice on the initial phone call, the patient will be invited to join my patient portal with a unique login (via intakeQ) where they can view and schedule appointments, as well as view and fill out forms.

It is important that you fill out your forms thoroughly as I do study them before our appointment. Then I want to hear in your own words what concerns you. The paperwork you fill out is so comprehensive, even Sherlock Holmes would be impressed. ​ ​ We will spend 75 mins reviewing: ​ Assessment and Discussion: Personal History: I take a lot of time to listen to your concerns and background, (personal history, family history, and any significant life events). This helps me understand the context of your mental health. ​ Presenting Concerns: Share the issues or symptoms that prompted you to seek help. Be open about your feelings, behaviors, and any difficulties you're experiencing. ​ Mental Health History: We will go over any previous mental health issues, past treatments, and any history of psychiatric medications. I will want to understand your medical history, including physical health and any medications and over-the-counters you’re currently taking. ​ Current Functioning: We will dig into the ways your mental health is affecting your daily life, work, relationships, and overall functioning. ​ Treatment Planning: Discussion of Options: I love to deliberate with my clients on potential treatment options including psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of treatments. ​ Treatment Goals: I take time to discuss goals for how you want to feel and how progress will be measured so you can actually see improvements. ​ Next Steps: Follow-Up Appointments: You’ll likely schedule follow-up appointments to continue the evaluation and begin treatment. ​ Questions: You’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions you might have about the diagnosis, treatment plan, or anything else related to your care. ​ Unlike insurance based-models which only allow 30 mins, I make time for you to be open and honest about your experiences, as this will help me provide the best possible care. The cost for this session is $315.

25 minute follow-up: ​This length of follow-up visit is designed for brief check-ins and medication adjustments. We will focus on ensuring the patient’s medication regimen is effective and well-tolerated. We will address any concerns and make necessary modifications to optimize the treatment plan. Follow-up visits are typically scheduled every 2-4 weeks for the first few months of care, and every 1-3 months for long-term patients. This may vary based on the patient’s desired level of support and severity of symptoms. Cost for this session is $150. 50 minute follow-up: This length of this follow-up visit is ideal for discussing progress, therapy, and adjusting treatment as needed. We will continue to work collaboratively towards the patient’s goals, whether through therapy, medication management, and/or lifestyle changes – most likely in combination. Therapy appointments are typically scheduled every 1-2 weeks. Overall, a follow-up appointment is a critical process of evaluation, adjustment, and planning. I ensure that your treatment is on track, that your mental health needs are being met, and that any necessary changes are made in a timely and effective manner. The cost for this session is $250.

I will review any new research or professional guidelines related your condition or treatment to stay informed and provide the best care.

Patients often start feeling better from the comprehensive care and personalized plan developed during the intake. ​ While medications may take 2-4 weeks to show effects, many report improvements within the first week, especially when combined with integrative methods.
