Your Questions, Answered
-
Many people start wondering this when they feel unheard, rushed, or unsure whether their current prescriber truly understands their goals. If you’ve ever felt unseen, confused about your treatment plan, or uncertain whether your prescriber has specialized training in your condition, it may be worth exploring a consultation.
-
I provide evidence‑based psychopharmacology in a collaborative, person‑centered framework. My goal is not just to manage symptoms but to understand who you are, what matters to you, and how medication fits into your broader life and therapeutic work.
-
Yes. I believe your therapist’s insight and medical providers expertise is essential. With your permission, I collaborate closely with your therapist so that your care feels aligned, consistent, and supportive across all providers.
-
Yes. Because I run a low‑volume solo practice, I intentionally keep my caseload small. This allows me to respond promptly and personally to your questions. You will have direct access to me via my cell phone and confidential messaging system.
-
Not billing insurance allows me to focus entirely on what is best for you rather than what an insurance company prioritizes. It gives us the freedom to spend the time we need, make thoughtful decisions, and avoid rushed or fragmented care.
-
It means you work directly with me — not a rotating team, not a large panel of clinicians. I know my patients well, and I tailor treatment to each person’s goals, history, and preferences. You won’t be one of hundreds of patients in a large system.
-
Absolutely. Medication decisions are made collaboratively, using the most up‑to‑date evidence and grounded in your values and goals. You will always understand the reasoning behind any recommendation, and your preferences guide the plan.
-
That’s completely okay. Many people come to me specifically to explore whether medication could help, whether a change might be beneficial, or whether they’re on the right treatment. We can take the time to evaluate options together.
-
Yes. I can provide psychotherapy in addition to prescribing your medication, and many people appreciate having both services integrated in one place. If it’s clinically appropriate, we can also decide to focus solely on therapy without medication.
That said, many patients choose to continue working with their current therapist, while I focus on medication treatment that is fully integrated with their ongoing therapy. I collaborate closely with therapists (with your permission) so your care feels aligned, consistent, and supportive across both providers.
-
Yes. Many of my patients come to me after feeling dismissed, rushed, or misunderstood elsewhere. My practice is intentionally designed to offer a different experience — one that is thoughtful, responsive, and grounded in genuine partnership.

You can reach out to schedule a free discovery call here, after having a personal conversation with me we can then schedule an initial consultation. During that meeting, we’ll discuss your goals, your history, and what you’re hoping to change or understand. From there, we’ll decide together whether ongoing care is a good fit.
