To ease scheduling of an introductory or care coordination call, I will gladly share a Calendly link with my current availability upon email request.

Philosophy on Collaborative Care: I firmly believe that the best outcomes in ‘split treatment’ are achieved when therapists and psychiatrists work together in a collaborative manner. By combining our expertise and insights, we can better create a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses the unique needs of each client when medications may be indicated. I value the therapeutic relationship that therapists have built with their clients and strive to honor and support that relationship in my consultation.

Accessible and Responsive: I understand that reaching out to a psychiatrist for a referral can sometimes be challenging. However, I am committed to being accessible and responsive to professionals who wish to collaborate. I believe in open lines of communication and prompt replies to inquiries. My goal is to establish an ongoing professional relationship built on trust, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to our clients' mental health.

Direct Communication: Prior to making a referral, I encourage new referrers to contact me directly. By initiating a conversation, we can get to know one another’s work, understand expectations, and each of our approaches to collaboration. This direct communication allows us to establish a collaborative working relationship to optimize care for our clients and ensure smooth transitions.

Please feel free to reach out to me via phone or email (without PHI) to coordinate a time to discuss potential referrals or to address any questions you may have about working together. I look forward to connecting with you.
