Yes, though my current schedule is limited. Get in touch to see if we can find a time that works for both of us

Simply email me to get in touch and ask any preliminary questions you might have! I will respond within a few days and will include my standard intake email, which includes a link for a free 15-minute introductory call, basic information, AND the link to schedule a full intake whenever you are ready. After our call, you can book our full intake visit (in-person or Telehealth). You will also be prompted to fill standard intake consents and forms so that I can gather information before we meet. Typically, at the end of our intake we will set a follow-up a few weeks later, and go from there. I look forward to meeting you!

I offer in-person visits in my office in the beautiful Mechanics Institute building just off the Montgomery Street BART stop in San Francisco. I also offer visits online via a secure tele-medicine portal.

I’m an out-of-network provider. What that means is that while I do not bill insurance directly, I can provide monthly “superbills”- detailed invoices with all the information typically required by insurance providers for reimbursement. I encourage you to check with your insurance if you have out-of-network benefits for behavioral health.

INTAKE ASSESSMENT | 60 minutes - $850
Our first visit is a 60-minute intake, before which I will review your intake forms and any other records you provide. During the visit we will cover your reasons for presenting, goals, and medical and psychiatric history, and will come up with a treatment plan together.

FOLLOW-UP | 25 minutes - $400 | 50 minutes - $750
Follow-up visits include psychotherapy and/or medication management. Frequency may vary from weekly to every few months, depending on clinical situation and patient preference. 25-minutes is standard, 50-minutes is my extended session time.

OTHER | Pro-rated at $800 per hour
I do not charge for time outside appointments for basic coordination of care, lab ordering and review, basic patient communication, medication ordering and refills, controlled substance database review, or simple form completion. For patients who request more labor-intensive non-clinical work (such as disability paperwork, multi-specialty care coordination, family meetings, etc) I charge my hourly rate and will discuss the estimated time and charge beforehand.

Some patients seek psychiatric care for a short period of time, such as fine-tuning medications or navigating a new challenge in life, and do not need specialty care long term. For others, they prefer an ongoing relationship that spans months or years.

I enjoy both, and am happy to collaborate with others to get you to the appropriate level of care.

Gladly! However, I do not see multiple members of the same family for care, and I will only schedule intakes for patients I have spoken to directly. Family members and others are welcome to join appointments at the patients’ request, but I will always require some time in the appointment to be just me and my patient.

Note that even if someone else is paying for care, that my ethical and clinical responsibility is to the patient, and I will only share clinical updates as the patient requests and sees fit for their care.

Absolutely. You can complete a release of information for me to coordinate with any outside or prior providers, and I will gladly do so. I will always ask you what aspects of our care you do or do not want shared, and will respect those boundaries.

Note that I will not lie to outside providers, am a mandated reporter for suspected child abuse, and am ethically and legally obligated to report if I believe you or another is at imminent risk of harm.

I do not use any AI or LLM-based service to record visits, and typically do not consent for our visits to be recorded in any fashion. I do use clinical reference tools such as Uptodate, Epocrates, PubMed, and OpenEvidence, which may use LLMs to help gather and parse clinical studies and guidelines (though I prefer to read the studies myself as AI-tools are known for having hard-to-spot errors and biases). I also use Claude on occasion to help with the business side of my work.

I do not enter Protected Health Information into any LLM platform (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini etc).

All of the words (and typos) on my website and in patient emails or chats are written by me, and I ask that you do the same in our communications.

If you have questions about my use of technology or privacy policies, I am glad to discuss it.
