It’s a membership-based private practice model: you pay directly for services without the administrative restrictions of insurance-based care. That means flexible appointment lengths and frequency, instead of care shaped around what an insurer will approve.

The free 10–15 minute phone consultation is a brief opportunity to share some history and current concerns, ask questions, learn more about the practice, and decide whether it’s a good fit. It does not establish a doctor-patient relationship. If you decide to move forward, I’ll send instructions for scheduling your intake assessment. Openings for new-patient intakes are usually available within two weeks.

No — the practice doesn’t contract with insurance companies, but I can provide superbills for visit fees, which you can submit for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Membership fees are typically not reimbursable. The clinic has also opted out of Medicare, so Medicare cannot be billed for services here. See current rates →

Membership covers the care that happens between appointments: prescription refills between visits when clinically appropriate, secure messaging with me for non-urgent questions, responsive scheduling when things change, coordination with your other providers and pharmacy, prior authorizations and lab review, and routine forms and paperwork. Visits are billed separately at member rates. New memberships have a 3-month minimum; after that, you can cancel anytime. See current rates →

I work with adults 18+ who are ready to thrive — with a focus on adult ADHD, neurodiversity, parenting challenges, life stage transitions, depression, anxiety, burnout, and trauma recovery, including recovery from narcissistic abuse.

Neuropsychological testing isn’t offered here — it’s usually done by neuropsychologists, and I’m happy to provide a referral if it’s needed. ADHD is typically a clinical diagnosis, made through a thorough psychiatric assessment, and I’m experienced in this area of care.

This is a neurodiversity-embracing practice. “Neurodivergence” refers to the range of ways the nervous system can develop, learn, and interact with the world — often discussed in relation to ADHD, autism, and learning differences such as dyslexia. Care here works with how your brain works, not against it.

This practice serves California residents only and isn’t equipped for emergency care. Because this is a small practice, there are some situations where I may not be able to provide the right level of care. If you’re experiencing psychosis, are actively suicidal, are a danger to yourself or others, or are unable to care for yourself independently, your needs will be better met by emergency services or a community mental health clinic through your county. In an emergency, call 911 or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
