Practice Vision.

Why I Don't Participate in Insurance Networks?

I've chosen the fee-for-service model to ensure high-quality, individualized psychiatric care for my patients.


Does this sound familiar?


  • Waited months to get help for your mental health struggles.


  • Tried to find a psychiatrist who is a good fit without ever having a conversation with them.


  • Have called or reached out to a psychiatrist to either never hear back or wait on hold for hours.


  • Waited for your psychiatrist on the day of the appointment, only to find they're running late?


  • Felt rushed and unheard during appointments?


  • Had trouble getting in touch with your psychiatrist when you needed them?


  • Waited months to get in for a follow-up, only to be dismissed in 15 minutes or less?


  • Dealt with refill delays?


  • Uncertainty about the upfront cost of your mental health care?


Ever wondered if psychiatrists aimed to do more than simply prescribe medications when they chose their profession? Spoiler alert: they did! 

While managed care might suffice for some medical needs like diabetes or high blood pressure, it falls short in addressing mental health concerns. Insurance companies often limit the type of treatment a psychiatrist can provide emphasizing medication management over psychotherapy, despite the profound benefits of a comprehensive approach.


Here's the essence: I prioritize you. Before delving into medications, let's explore your story beyond the diagnosis. While medication can provide relief, therapy is where genuine healing often begins. Imagine trying to salsa dance with a cement block strapped to your foot – that's how it feels without therapy. Medication might ease the burden, but therapy equips you with the rhythm to navigate life's challenges.

My Patient-First Approach.

 My comprehensive holistic approach is designed to help you get better faster and stay feeling better. 


A treatment plan may include:

  • Medication Management


  • Psychotherapy (I utilize principles of Psychodynamic, Psychoanalysis, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy).


  • Health assessments and Lab work.


  • Treating any deficiencies identified.


  • Lifestyle assessment to optimize sleep, nutrition, and exercise.

  • Direct access to me.


  • Transparent pricing. 


  • If you have a PPO plan you can still get reimbursed with a superbill that I can provide for your care with me. 


  • Maintain Privacy: With insurance companies out of the picture, your medical records remain confidential and secure, giving you peace of mind about the privacy of your personal information.
