What to expect at your first appointment

All visits are conducted either virtually through a secure telemedicine patient portal or in-person at our office. The first visit is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and to begin to generate a treatment plan. I set aside 60 minutes for the visit so that we can cover everything without being rushed. During our time together, I want to hear your story: what brings you into treatment, what your history has been, and what your hopes are for our work together. I will ask questions about your medical and psychiatric history, your past psychiatric care, and your family and social life. At the end of the visit, we will make a plan for ongoing treatment.

First-Visit Paperwork

There are several forms that need to be completed at the time of the first visit. These should be completed electronically through my secure patient portal.

I invite you to contact me if you have additional questions. Thank you.
