FAQs

What services do you provide?

I mainly provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management, i.e., I diagnose and prescribe medicine. I also have some limited availability for psychotherapy (talk therapy), but my main focus is psychopharmacology (medication). I do not provide formal psychological testing; for that you want to search for a neuropsychologist.

Do you have any specialties?

I treat a broad range of conditions, but have some extra training in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and significant experience with Suboxone for opioid use disorder. Patients in the early stages of recovery, however, may need a higher level of care.

Do you take insurance?

At this time, I am only in-network with Husky (Medicaid), Cigna, Optum, Anthem, Magellan, and Aetna. I am working on joining more insurance panels. In the meantime, I can provide invoices to submit to your out-of-network insurance if needed.

Do you have an office?

Yes! I have an office in New Haven at 258 Bradley St. I also see patients virtually through SimplePractice.

Do you see children/adolescents?

At this time, I mostly see ages 18 and older. If you are looking for services for your child, try the following:

• Ask your pediatrician or call your insurance company for referrals.
• Visit https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/psychiatrists. Enter your zip code, search, and filter results by insurance and age.
• Try calling local agencies, like the Yale Child Study Center, CHC, the Child Guidance Center, or PCRC.

What is a psychiatric nurse practitioner?

A psychiatric nurse practitioner is a kind of Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) who specializes in the diagnosing and management of mental illnesses.
