As a physician, a major focus of my practice is on managing the medical side of mental illness—prescribing medications, completing laboratory testing, and exploring the various underpinnings of symptoms. I provide two types of services based on your specific situation and priorities, and I offer complimentary 15 minute consultations to discuss whether these are an appropriate fit for you. In addition to time spent meeting with you in session, I also create an individualized treatment plan document following our appointment that provides highlights of our discussion and next steps. More details about fees can be found here.

Expanded Psychiatry Evaluation: This is appropriate if you wish to work primarily with prescription medications. We will spend up to 90 minutes reviewing your story, symptoms, and other background, including basic labs, ordering additional testing as needed and discussing your goals for treatment and wellness. I’ll spend time before and after sessions reviewing your medical records, doing coordination and research, and developing a plan for our work together.

Intake (75-90 minutes): $600

Follow-up (50 minutes): $400

Follow-up (25 minutes): $250

Functional / Integrative Psychiatry Evaluation: This is appropriate if you would like to approach your treatment with both psychiatric medications and other modalities, including lifestyle changes, supplements or herbals, or more extensive labs. We will spend 90-120 minutes reviewing your story and medical history in greater depth, spending additional time reviewing lifestyle concerns, developing a life “timeline” to help understand the relationship between your symptoms and life events, reviewing past lab results and determining our approach for additional testing, and discussing goals of treatment.

Intake (90-120 minutes): $800

Follow-up (50 minutes): $400

Follow-up (25 minutes): $250
