New Patients: Request a Consultation

Thank you for your interest in my practice. I am a board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist licensed in California and New York. I have expertise in psychiatric evaluation, psychotherapy, medication management, and working with queer, gender diverse, (e.g. transgender, nonbinary, gender-expansive), and neurodivergent (e.g. autistic, ADHD) youth and adults. 

• I am out of network with all insurance providers, which means I do not accept insurance or bill insurance companies directly. 

• I cannot provide treatment if the patient is a Medicare or Medicaid recipient.

• I see patients on Mondays in-person in San Francisco (Union Square) or via telehealth (patients must be located in California or New York). Usual appointment times are between 9am and 5pm.

• If you are interested in my services, we would begin with a free, brief phone/video call (15 min) to see if my practice might be a good fit for you and/or your family member. If so, we would then proceed with an initial consultation.

• Initial consultation:

  • For children and adolescents, the initial consultation takes at least three 60-minute sessions: one with the youth, one with parents, and one feedback session.

  • For adults, the initial consultation takes at least two 60-minute sessions: one assessment session and one feedback session.

  • Autism, ADHD, and gender health evaluations each typically require an additional 60-minute assessment session.

  • Record review and collateral gathering may add additional billed time, typically up to 60 minutes.

• The physician-patient relationship is established only if we mutually agree that my practice is appropriate for your treatment. 

• Payment is due in advance of each appointment. 

• If you need to cancel/reschedule an appointment, it must be done at least 2 business days prior to the appointment or the full appointment fee will be charged.
