Treatment
I treat most psychiatric conditions. Some require medications, some psychotherapy, others both. I provide medication management services, and if psychotherapy is needed, I can refer you to therapists who I trust. Reach out if you have questions about a specific condition.
Languages

Limitations
Age Range
I see patients 18 years old and above.
Specific Medications
I do not prescribe controlled substances (e.g. stimulants for treatment of ADHD, benzodiazepines, certain sleep aids, among others). This is in compliance with federal laws regarding telemedicine services (Ryan-Haight Act).
If you need a controlled substance to treat your condition, I can refer you to a psychiatrist who can provide in-person treatment.
Fees charged are for my time and expertise, not to obtain a specific prescription. I believe in partnering with people in their treatment and will do my best to provide with alternatives to these medications, if they are not indicated.
