I provide medication management using a warm, empathic, and non-judgmental treatment approach. I'm happy to collaborate with your therapist if requested.

My philosophy is that using psychotherapy, coping skills, and healthy lifestyle choices combined with psychiatric medications often result in the best treatment outcomes. I offer HIPAA-compliant in-person and virtual telehealth appointments for patients located in PA and NJ. I don't accept insurance, but if you have out-of-network benefits I can provide an itemized receipt that you can submit to your insurance company. Rates: Initial Consultations $350 (1 hr), Medication Management Follow-ups $175 (20 min)
