at this time, I only provide telehealth services, which are conducted virtually through a secured & HIPAA complaint platform.

currently, I can only see clients based in California.

I work with adults ages 18 through 60. Rarely, I will see adolescents ages 16-17.

no, I do not accept insurance and am considered an out-of-network provider. This model gives us the flexibility to focus on what’s most helpful for you and the ability to personalize your treatment. We can tailor your care without rushing our conversations based on billing codes or time constraints. However, I can provide a superbill upon request for potential partial reimbursement through your insurance provider. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits for psychiatry & psychotherapy. You may contact your insurance directly to inquire about your mental health reimbursement rates.

I practice cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and specifically exposure & response prevention (ERP) therapy. I tend to have a more flexible approach, and incorporate other modalities (i.e. supportive therapy, acceptance & commitment therapy, some psychodynamic work) as appropriate. However, in keeping with a holistic approach to care, psychotherapy techniques can be integrated into my medication-only appointments.

yes - absolutely. It's completely okay to feel unsure about starting medication. Many people are hesitant, and my role isn’t to pressure you but to provide education, share my clinical recommendations, and help you make informed choices at your own pace. We can start slow, have open conversations, and explore all options together. I don’t believe everyone needs medication - but when it’s helpful, we’ll talk through why, how it works, and what to expect.

I don’t offer formal neuropsychological testing for ADHD. If you're seeking a new diagnosis in adulthood, we’ll need to take a thorough look at your childhood history, often over multiple sessions. In many cases, I may recommend neuropsychological testing to ensure an accurate diagnosis.

If you have a known history of ADHD, I ask for documentation from your previous provider confirming your evaluation and diagnosis.

Regarding stimulant medications: Because this is a Telehealth-only practice, prescribing controlled substances like stimulants or benzodiazepines is currently limited by federal law (The Ryan Haight Act). While temporary exceptions are in place through December 2025, these laws may change. For that reason, I generally do not prescribe stimulants- but I’m happy to talk through your treatment options to ensure you receive appropriate, evidence-based care.
