Telehealth services available throughout Massachusetts.
Seeing a psychiatrist is usually a difficult, stressful decision. You may be feeling at a low point in your life, or that something is just not working for you anymore. You are not alone.
Combined treatment (medications and therapy)
Wanting your child or teenager to be in therapy with the same provider who prescribes medications
Most of my patients are also in psychotherapy. Patients either have a separate therapist, or they are receiving combined treatment (medications and therapy) with me.
Alternatively, some people wish to taper and discontinue their psychiatric medications.
You might have some of these concerns:
For parents
- Tantrums, outbursts, oppositional behavior that is difficult to understand
- Spiraling and meltdowns
- ADHD in girls
Adults and students
- Sensitivity to interpersonal stress or conflict, difficulty connecting with people
- Feeling alone with your emotions, and judging yourself
- Difficulty feeling joy because the other shoe is going to drop
Family members
- Managing your own stress, and trying as much as possible to help your child who has bipolar, schizophrenia, or schizoaffective disorder

After completing training, I served for many years as an attending psychiatrist leading an interdisciplinary treatment team on AB2 at McLean Hospital, an affiliate of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. I also started my private practice in 2019.

Fees
Out of network with all insurance plans.
I write a monthly superbill with procedure codes for patients to submit the claim for OON reimbursement. Many PPO plans with low deductibles have out-of-network benefits that reimburse up to 80% of session costs. Reimbursement is a percentage of your insurer's allowed amount, after your out-of-network deductible, so it is often less than the full fee.
Fee schedule available upon request.
