My services

If you are interested in getting to know more about my approach to therapy, I am happy to schedule a free phone consultation. You can expect that conversation to last for about 15-20 minutes so I can obtain some basic information from you and find out what your goals might be in therapy (it’s okay if you’re not sure yet!). We can also start to figure out if what I have to offer is a good fit for your needs. If I do not have availability for a new patient, I will do my best to provide you with a list of other trusted clinicians whom you can contact for help.

Our first couple of appointments will be focused on careful psychiatric assessment. I will ask you a lot of questions about past history, when your psychiatric symptoms may have started, and how those symptoms are affecting you now. An accurate diagnosis is an important part of developing a collaborative therapy plan that’s individualized to you and your unique needs.

Once we complete the assessment, you can expect our therapy sessions to generally be one hour in duration. We will primarily work together individually, however, there may be times when you want a partner or other family member to join us. I encourage family involvement when needed and appropriate.

I also thoroughly enjoy teaching and am always interested in new opportunities to provide lectures and training in the mental health community. Please feel free to reach out if my expertise and experience would provide a beneficial learning experience for your students or team.
