Comprehensive Psychiatric Care Tailored to Your Needs

Evidence-based evaluations, medication management, and individualized therapy designed for adult patients across New York and California

Services

Initial Diagnostic Psychiatric Evaluation

I provide comprehensive diagnostic psychiatric evaluations that include a 60-90 minute assessment of current symptoms, prior symptoms, medical history, psychiatric history, medication trials, family history, and developmental history. Following the initial psychiatric evaluation, we will review tentative diagnoses and treatment options together.

Medication Management

Following an initial psychiatric evaluation or medication consultation, I can prescribe, adjust, and monitor the risk, benefit, and side-effect profiles of psychiatric medications by regular follow-up appointments. Follow-up appointments can be scheduled in 30 or 45 minute time slots.

Individual Therapy

I offer evidence-based psychotherapies for patients. I am trained in a variety of therapy modalities. Therapy can be done in tandem with medication management.
