I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management for a range of mental health conditions.

• ADHD

• Anxiety disorders

• Depression

• Mood disorders

• OCD

• Trauma-related symptoms

• Eating and weight-related mental health concerns

I work with children, adolescents, and adults

I do not provide ongoing psychotherapy.

I believe in transparent pricing so you can make informed decisions about your care.

Psychiatric Services:

• New Patient Evaluation: $300

• Follow-Up Appointments: $150

Comprehensive ADHD Diagnostic Evaluations:

• ADHD Diagnostic Evaluation: $575

• Comprehensive Diagnostic Psychological Evaluation: $1,475

Diagnostic evaluations include structured clinical interviewing, standardized rating scales when appropriate, record review (if provided), and a written summary of findings with treatment recommendations.

Payment is due at the time of service.

As an out-of-network provider, you will receive a superbill that may be submitted to your insurance company for possible reimbursement, depending on your plan.

I am an out-of-network provider, which means payment is due at the time of service.

After your appointment, you will receive a superbill — a detailed receipt that you can submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

Many insurance plans offer partial reimbursement for out-of-network mental health services. I recommend contacting your insurance carrier and asking:

• Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?

• What is my deductible?

• What percentage is reimbursed after my deductible is met?

There are meaningful benefits to private pay care, especially in mental health:

1. Greater privacy
Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis in your permanent medical record. Paying privately limits third-party access to your personal health information.

2. No insurance-driven restrictions
Insurance companies often dictate session length, frequency, and what treatments are covered. Private pay allows treatment decisions to be based solely on clinical judgment and your needs.

3. No required diagnosis for coverage
With insurance, a formal psychiatric diagnosis is required even if you are seeking support for stress, life transitions, or personal growth.

4. More individualized care
Private practice settings allow for longer appointments and more thorough evaluations without the pressure of insurance productivity demands.

For many individuals, especially professionals, parents, or those in sensitive careers, this added layer of discretion is deeply valuable.

ADHD testing is a structured diagnostic process designed to provide clarity — not just a checklist.

Your evaluation may include:

• A detailed clinical interview reviewing developmental, academic, occupational, and behavioral history

• Screening for overlapping or mimicking conditions (anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep concerns, thyroid issues, etc.)

• Standardized rating scales when appropriate

• Review of prior records (if provided)

• Diagnostic impression and treatment recommendations

• Written documentation summarizing findings

The goal is diagnostic accuracy and thoughtful recommendations — not simply confirming a suspected diagnosis.

A new patient appointment is a full psychiatric evaluation. During this visit, we will:

• Review your current concerns and goals

• Discuss symptom history and prior treatment

• Review medical, psychiatric, family, and social history

• Assess sleep, appetite, functioning, and stressors

• Develop a collaborative treatment plan

If medication is appropriate, options are discussed thoroughly, including risks, benefits, and alternatives. No decisions are rushed.

Follow-up frequency depends on your clinical needs.

• When starting or adjusting medication: typically every 2–4 weeks

• Once stable: often every 1–3 months

The goal is to provide enough structure for safety and symptom monitoring while respecting your time and independence.

Yes. Telehealth appointments are available for patients located in the state where I am licensed.

Virtual visits are secure, HIPAA-compliant, and convenient for busy professionals, parents, and students.

How do I know if I need an ADHD evaluation?

You may benefit from an ADHD evaluation if you experience:

• Chronic difficulty with focus or sustained attention

• Disorganization or time management struggles

• Procrastination despite strong intentions

• Impulsivity or emotional reactivity

• Difficulty completing tasks at work or school

• Lifelong patterns of underperformance despite intelligence

An adult ADHD evaluation is especially helpful if symptoms have been present since childhood but were never formally assessed. Many high-functioning adults seek ADHD testing later in life when workplace demands increase or parenting responsibilities amplify executive function strain.

Yes. I provide comprehensive adult ADHD evaluations.

Adult ADHD testing includes:

• A detailed developmental and academic history

• Review of childhood symptoms

• Functional impairment assessment (work, relationships, daily life)

• Screening for anxiety, depression, trauma, thyroid concerns, and sleep disorders that can mimic ADHD

• Standardized ADHD rating scales when clinically appropriate

• Diagnostic clarification and treatment recommendations

Adult ADHD is frequently misdiagnosed or overlooked, especially in women and high-achieving professionals. A thorough evaluation helps ensure accuracy before starting medication.

Do you provide ADHD testing for children and teens?

Yes. ADHD evaluations for children and adolescents include:

• Parent interview

• Developmental and academic history

• Review of school performance

• Behavioral symptom review across settings

• Collaboration recommendations for school support when appropriate

When assessing children, we carefully differentiate ADHD from anxiety, learning disorders, trauma responses, sleep issues, and emotional regulation concerns.

An ADHD evaluation focuses specifically on attention, executive function, and related conditions.

A full neuropsychological evaluation is more extensive and typically includes formal cognitive testing (IQ testing, memory testing, processing speed measures). Those are often completed by psychologists specializing in comprehensive cognitive assessment.

If during your ADHD assessment it appears broader cognitive testing would be beneficial, I will discuss appropriate referral options.

Yes. I provide autism spectrum evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults.

Autism assessments are appropriate if there are concerns about:

• Social communication differences

• Difficulty reading social cues

• Sensory sensitivities

• Repetitive behaviors or intense interests

• Rigid routines

• Longstanding feelings of being socially “different”

Many adults seek autism testing later in life after recognizing patterns that were missed in childhood.

An autism evaluation typically includes:

• Comprehensive developmental history

• Social communication assessment

• Behavioral pattern review

• Sensory profile discussion

• Screening for ADHD, anxiety, OCD, and mood disorders

• Standardized assessment tools when clinically indicated

• Diagnostic clarification and written summary

The goal is thoughtful differential diagnosis. Autism can overlap with ADHD, trauma history, OCD traits, and social anxiety. A careful evaluation prevents mislabeling.

Yes. Adult autism evaluations focus on:

• Early childhood social patterns

• Lifelong communication style

• Masking or camouflaging behaviors

• Occupational and relational functioning

• Sensory processing history

Many adults — particularly women — were not identified in childhood due to subtler presentations. Adult autism diagnosis can provide clarity and self-understanding.

Yes. Anxiety disorders, trauma exposure, sleep deprivation, thyroid dysfunction, depression, and even chronic stress can mimic symptoms of ADHD or autism.

This is why a structured psychiatric diagnostic evaluation is essential before confirming a neurodevelopmental diagnosis.

Accuracy matters — especially when stimulant medications or long-term labeling are involved.

Yes. You will receive a written diagnostic summary outlining:

• Clinical findings

• Diagnostic impressions

• Treatment recommendations

• School or workplace accommodation guidance if applicable

This documentation can be used for:

• Academic accommodations

• Workplace accommodations

• Insurance reimbursement (when applicable)
