Services

  • My practice focuses on mood disorders, which includes depressive disorders such as Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar spectrum disorders, such as Bipolar II and Cyclothymia, as well as commonly co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, panic, OCD, insomnia, and PTSD or history of trauma.

  • I utilize both medication management and psychotherapy, based on your individual needs. I offer insight-oriented therapy that is grounded in psychodynamic principles and incorporates elements of CBT and DBT.

  • I offer appointments in the evening, outside of typical business hours, allowing you to attend your appointments without needing to take time off from work.

  • I use a HIPAA-compliant video platform which can be downloaded to your phone or computer. Log on from any private location in the state of California.

Phone Consultation
15 minutes
Free

We can schedule a brief call to discuss what your primary concerns and interest in seeking treatment are, as well as your treatment goals, to determine if my services are an appropriate fit. This initial contact does not establish a patient-doctor relationship.

Initial Diagnostic Evaluation
75 minutes
$750

During this initial intake appointment, I will obtain a comprehensive and holistic history of your current symptoms, past medical conditions, substance use, and social and environmental factors to determine your provisional diagnosis(-es) and the most appropriate treatment plan for you. At the end of this appointment, we will discuss my recommendations which may include medications and/or psychotherapy, laboratory tests and/or imaging, and referrals to specialists or consultation with your other providers.

Psychotherapy +/- Medication Management
50 min
$500

Most often, I recommend a combination of medication management and psychotherapy, as evidence demonstrates this is the most effective treatment plan for many mental health conditions. I offer insight-oriented therapy that is grounded in psychodynamic principles and incorporates elements of CBT and DBT, in combination with evidence-based pharmacotherapy. Typically these appointments will be weekly initially, eventually spacing to every other week or less often, as indicated.

Medication Management Only
25 min
$250

If you already have a therapist, or we determine that medication management only is appropriate for your current treatment goals, I can provide shorter follow-up appointments focused on adjusting medication doses, ordering and monitoring laboratory tests and imaging, continued evaluation and monitoring of symptoms, further clarification of diagnoses, and ongoing adjustments of the treatment plan. These follow-up appointments typically occur every 2 to 4 weeks initially, and may space out to less frequent, as indicated.
