Services Offered and Philosophy of Treatment
I conduct medication management, individual therapy, and group therapy for people over the age of 18. The first one-hour intake will be geared toward gathering your story as well as setting measurable goals for treatment.
I will offer a combination of medication, therapy, and/or behavioral changes to which you can accept or decline. I wholeheartedly collaborate with outside providers to streamline care.
I would describe my style overall as change-focused, firm, and kind. I respect each individual’s life story and accept all comers regardless of self-identity.
All of my electronic medical records and communications are HIPAA-compliant. Furthermore, I am bound ethically and legally to keep our treatment details private. I am happy to discuss your care with whomever you may choose after signing a HIPAA waiver.

Payments and Costs
I do not at this time accept insurances. I charge a pro-rated $500 per hour.
Medication management sessions run between 30 to 45 minutes. Therapy sessions run between 45 to 60 minutes. Group therapy will be at a lower per-session fee to be determined by the group therapy size.
Payments are expected on or before the day of service. I accept all major credit cards and personal checks.
Of note, most commercial insurances have generous out-of-network benefits which may cover a significant proportion of the rate I charge. I provide documentation as necessary to obtain those benefits.
