Questions
Getting Started & What to Expect
The first visit is a comprehensive evaluation focused on understanding you (or your child) as a whole person—not just symptoms. I take time to learn about current concerns, psychiatric history, and life context. This includes a thorough psychiatric interview and, when helpful, input from family or other sources. Together, we review diagnostic impressions and create a thoughtful, individualized treatment plan.
A child or adolescent evaluation is a comprehensive, two-session process (approximately 120 minutes total). It includes interviews with the child and caregivers, a detailed developmental and psychiatric history, and a careful diagnostic assessment. When helpful, input from schools or other providers may also be incorporated to support accurate treatment planning.
Yes. I offer virtual appointments for patients throughout California through a secure telehealth platform. I also offer limited in-person appointments one day per week for those who prefer face-to-face care.
Yes. Treatment is individualized and may include medication management, psychotherapy, or a combination of both. When appropriate, I also incorporate family sessions to support care in a more holistic way.
Yes. With consent and when clinically appropriate, I collaborate with families, schools, and other providers to support continuity of care and a more complete understanding of each patient's needs.
