Getting Started

Free Phone Consultation

Choosing the right psychiatrist is an important decision. I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to answer your questions and help determine whether my practice is a good fit for your needs. If you decide to move forward, we can then arrange a full evaluation and coordinate next steps by email.

What to Expect

Our first session is a comprehensive intake (50-60 minutes) to understand your history, priorities, and goals.
Follow-up visits are typically 20-30 minutes, with longer sessions available if clinically appropriate.
My approach is collaborative: treatment decisions are guided by medical expertise and shaped together through thoughtful conversation.
