services offered

I work collaboratively with you to design a treatment plan that fits your needs. My focus is on understanding your experience and supporting you through a process of managing symptoms and building lasting skills to improve quality of life.

medication management

I prescribe and manage psychiatric medications as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, when indicated. We’ll work together to find the right medication and dosage, with ongoing monitoring and adjustments based on your needs and goals.

exposure & response prevention (ERP)therapy

I have significant training in ERP for OCD (and related anxiety disorders). ERP is the gold standard therapeutic approach in the treatment of OCD.

additional therapy modalities

ERP is the gold-standard & evidence-based therapeutic treatment for OCD. I do integrate techniques & practice cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and supportive therapy. Depending on condition being treated (i.e. NOT OCD), I also provide psychodynamic therapy.

consultation services

I offer comprehensive psychiatric consultations for diagnostic clarity as related to OCD, recommendations regarding one’s medication or therapeutic treatment plan for OCD, and second opinions. This includes review of up to 50 pages of prior medical/psychiatric records sent at least 48 hours in advance, collateral information gathering (with informed consent), and a written report with my clinical impressions & recommendations, which can be shared with your current treatment team

the process

〰️

the process 〰️

step 1. free consultation

this brief 15 minute phone call is an opportunity for us to connect, discuss your goals, and see whether we might be a good fit. You can share what you're looking for, ask questions, and get a sense of how I work.

step 2. intake paperwork

if we decide to move forward, you’ll receive a comprehensive intake questionnaire covering your history, lifestyle, and goals. I also invite you to share relevant medical records or lab results. I review this information carefully before our first appointment so that we can use our time together more effectively.

step 3. initial consultation

during this 90 minute appointment, we’ll dive deeper into your current concerns and what you're hoping to get out of treatment. This session helps lay the foundation for a thoughtful, personalized care plan.

step 4. information gathering

sometimes additional information is helpful to fully understand your picture. We may discuss lab work, review outside records, or -with your consent- connect with other members of your care team, such as past therapists, doctors, or family members.

step 5. ongoing follow up

follow-up sessions are tailored to your needs and treatment goals. They may range from 25 to 50 minutes and occur anywhere from every few weeks to every few months. If we’re doing therapy work together, we may meet weekly. Frequency and length of sessions are always decided collaboratively.
