Frequently Asked Questions

  • The first step is reaching out to me through the contact form below. If I feel I may be a good fit for you, I will give you a free 15-minute phone call to get a better understanding of what your needs are and answer any questions. 

    A patient-doctor relationship is not established unless both you and I have agreed to move forward together, after that initial 15 minute call. 

    If we do seem to be a good fit, we can schedule an initial consultation, I will send you paperwork and questionnaires to fill out though the Patient Portal, as well as invite you to a platform that is HIPPA compliant for us to communicate further through.

    The initial consultation is primarily data gathering- understanding your history and your current issues, and reviewing your medical history and discussing whether we should order lab tests to rule out any medical causes for your current symptoms. It is important to make sure that I take time to understand you and your situation, therefore a diagnosis is not made at the initial visit. If there are other people to contact (therapist, other providers, school, other caregivers, etc.), that may follow the initial visit, and we will review findings and discuss diagnosis and treatment planning at a subsequent follow-up, which typically is within 2-3 sessions.

  • GInitial sessions are ideally done in person, at my office located at 1 Meeting House Road, suite 16, unit 3 (located on the second floor), Chelmsford, MA, 01824. If you are unable to come in person, we can consider virtual as well. Follow-up appointments can be more flexible, unless there are medications on board warranting in person visits.

  • At this time, I do not accept any insurance. I am considered an out-of-network provider with payments due at the time of service. I am happy to provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance carrier for possible reimbursement.

  • No. I am only licensed in Massachusetts, therefore cannot provide services to anyone in any other states, even via telehealth.

  • See Services & Pricing

  • I may prescribe some controlled substances (such as stimulants or benzodiazepines) for established patients when clinically appropriate. Due to potential risks with these medications, if I am prescribing them, we will: 

    • Regularly review risks and benefits and whether they are still necessary.

    • Comply with regular in person visits.

    • Work towards the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary.
