I'm available weekdays and weekends, in person or via telehealth, with scheduling flexible to fit your needs.
Do any of these sound like you? You're carrying more than you can name: a heaviness that won't lift, worry that runs the show, mood swings that leave you unlike yourself, or a mind racing in ten directions. Maybe you've pushed through alone, or sat across from a provider who rushed fifteen minutes and handed you a prescription without asking how you're really doing. You're tired of feeling unseen. You want a provider who sees you as a whole person, not a diagnosis, someone who understands what's underneath the anxiety, depression, bipolar swings, or ADHD making daily life harder than it should be..

FAQ - In Person Psychiatrists
What are the advantages of in-person psychiatry?
Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, often using a combination of therapy and medication. For many individuals, working with a psychiatrist who offers accessible and consistent in-person care is an important part of building a strong and effective therapeutic relationship. While remote care has become more widely available, in-person psychiatry offers several unique advantages. Face-to-face sessions can help foster a deeper sense of connection and trust, particularly during the early stages of treatment. In-person visits may also be more appropriate for young children, individuals who benefit from a structured clinical environment, or those with complex mental health needs requiring close observation and coordination of care. Many patients also find that meeting in a dedicated office space—free from the distractions of home—helps them stay focused and engaged during sessions.

How can I find a psychiatrist who offers in-person services?
Psychology Today's online directory is a valuable resource for finding psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who provide in-person services. As you explore your options, consider each provider's clinical expertise, therapeutic style, and office location to ensure their services are a good fit and easily accessible for you.
