I believe healing happens when mind, body, and spirit are aligned. I create a compassionate and collaborative environment where patients feel deeply heard and empowered in their own care. My approach blends conventional psychiatric treatment with nutrition, mindfulness, movement, and stress-reduction strategies to support long-term mental wellness. I value authenticity, open communication, and shared decision-making, empowering patients to build resilience and restore balance in their lives. I begin with a comprehensive assessment exploring medical, psychological, and lifestyle factors that influence mental health. Treatment plans are personalized and may include psychotherapy, targeted laboratory testing, lifestyle modifications, supplements, and medication when appropriate. I work closely with patients to restore balance, resilience, and overall well-being through a truly integrative approach, with regular collaboration and feedback helping patients heal, grow, and thrive.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist with more than 20 years of clinical and academic experience in emergency mental health, disaster response, and trauma-focused care. I earned my undergraduate degree at George Mason University and completed my medical degree at Eastern Virginia Medical School. After the September 11th attacks, I trained in psychiatry at New York Medical College's Saint Vincent's Hospital, specializing in emergency and trauma psychiatry. I previously served as Associate Director of Wellness & Emergency Response Services at New York University's Student Health Center, leading a team that cared for more than 50,000 global NYU students. I also previously served as Staff Psychiatrist and Team Lead for the Combat PTSD Clinical Team at the Hampton VA Medical Center, providing care for veterans with service-related trauma and implementing National VA Standards of Care.

I value open, honest communication and take a collaborative approach to care. I partner with patients to identify clear treatment goals and use symptom screener tools to objectively track progress. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and empathetic environment where patients feel heard, respected, and actively engaged in their treatment journey. In the first session, I work to gain a thorough understanding of each patient's history, current concerns, and long-term goals, and then develop a personalized treatment plan aligned with those goals. My approach balances symptom improvement with medication tolerability and incorporates therapies that further enhance outcomes.

I bring over 30 years of experience in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings and have held leadership roles, including serving as Medical Director across various clinical programs. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Chicago and earned my medical degree from Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine in Chicago, Illinois. I completed my residency at Loyola University Medical Center, where I was appointed chief resident during my final year.

My clinical interests include mood and anxiety disorders, PTSD, and OCD. I am passionate about incorporating psychotherapeutic tools into my practice, including supportive psychotherapy. I take a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental approach to care, and my goal is to create a safe and supportive space where patients feel heard and empowered to take an active role in their treatment, using a combination of supportive psychotherapy and medication management.

During the first few sessions, I will take time to get to know the patient, their history, current concerns, and what they hope to achieve through treatment. Together, we will develop a comprehensive plan that may include psychiatric medications and supportive therapy. Follow-up visits are typically focused on checking in, adjusting treatments if necessary, and continuing to build on progress.

Although I specialize in medication management of psychiatric conditions, supportive psychotherapy is often incorporated into my visits, as I believe a combined approach leads to a more robust treatment response. Additionally, I aim to enhance wellness through discussion of lifestyle modifications that emphasize quality sleep, a healthy diet, and regular exercise.

Initial appointments consist of a psychiatric evaluation and discussion of evidence-based treatment options. If telehealth is deemed to be an appropriate modality and pharmacotherapy is recommended, discussion will consist of selecting a suitable medication to address target symptoms while minimizing adverse effects. Follow-up visits focus on assessing treatment response and adjusting regimens to optimize outcomes.

I earned my medical degree from the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Tucson and completed my residency at the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix. I am board-certified in psychiatry and provide care for adult patient populations. Prior to my career in medicine, I proudly served in the U.S. Air Force.

I am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space where people feel truly heard, believing good psychiatry starts with listening. I foster a warm, respectful, and judgment-free environment where patients can share openly. I take time to understand each person's symptoms, story, values, and goals.

During the first appointment, I conduct an in-depth, unhurried conversation to explore the patient's history and goals. Together, we develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medication, therapy referrals, and practical strategies. Ongoing follow-ups provide space to track progress, make adjustments, and ensure the patient feels comfortable and empowered.

FAQs

How does Talkiatry work?

Talkiatry is an online psychiatry practice designed to make high-quality mental health care more accessible. We’re 100% virtual, in-network with major insurance plans, and first appointments are typically available in days.

To get started, you’ll complete a quick online assessment to tell us what you’re looking for. We’ll match you with psychiatrists who are licensed in your state, in-network with your insurance, and experienced in treating your concerns. You’ll choose the clinician you’d like to work with.

Your first visit is an in-depth evaluation where your psychiatrist will listen, provide a diagnosis, and work with you to create a treatment plan tailored to your goals and preferences. You’ll continue seeing the same clinician over time, adjusting your plan as your needs evolve. Our team is always here to help with scheduling, insurance, and questions about your care.

Do you provide therapy?

Care at Talkiatry starts with psychiatry. If you already have a Talkiatry psychiatrist, they can refer you to one of our therapists if you’ve decided together that therapy is the right next step. However, you can’t see a Talkiatry therapist if you aren’t already seeing one of our psychiatrists.

What should I do if I’m having an emergency?

Talkiatry does not provide emergency care. If you or someone you know is in crisis, please visit your nearest emergency room, call 911, or call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988.

How much will my visit cost?

The majority of our visits cost patients $25 or less after insurance*, but your exact out-of-pocket cost depends on your plan. The best way to get a clear estimate is to contact your insurance provider directly. Here’s what to ask them:

  • Do I have mental health benefits that include outpatient psychiatry?
  • Is Talkiatry in-network for my plan?
  • What’s my copay or coinsurance for outpatient psychiatry visits?
  • Do I have a deductible? If so, how close am I to meeting it?
  • Do I have an out-of-pocket maximum? If so, how close am I to reaching it?
  • Are virtual or telehealth psychiatry visits covered the same as in-person care?
  • Is prior authorization required for outpatient psychiatry?
  • Can you provide a cost estimate for an in-network psychiatry visit using CPT code 99204?
  • Can you provide a cost estimate for an in-network psychotherapy visit using CPT code 90833?

*Includes all patient costs from 9/24-9/25: copayment, deductible, coinsurance, and $0 payments. Excludes missed appt. fees.  Your medical visit costs can vary depending on insurance coverage.

What if I don’t want to take medication?

Psychiatrists are medical doctors, and medication is often part of how they treat mental health conditions. At Talkiatry, your psychiatrist will start by listening and discussing your options with you. Medication is always your choice, but if it’s not something you’re open to considering, we may not be the best fit for ongoing care at this time.

How do I know if Talkiatry can help me?

Talkiatry provides virtual, in-network psychiatric care for people struggling with mild to moderate mental health issues. Here’s what we can help with:

  • Anxiety
  • ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder)
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Child & adolescent care
  • Depression
  • OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder)
  • Pregnancy & postpartum care
  • PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder)
  • Substance use disorder

Our goal is to connect you with the best possible care for you. At your first visit, your doctor will confirm whether Talkiatry is the right fit. If they recommend in-person or higher-level care, they’ll guide you to the appropriate resources.

What if my insurance changes from Blue Cross Blue Shield?

Insurance changes are common, and we’re here to help. Talkiatry is in-network with thousands of plans. If your insurance changes, reach out to a Care Coordinator to update your information and confirm your coverage by calling 833-351-TALK (8255).

Do I still take the assessment if I’m already diagnosed with ADHD?

Yes. Our online assessment is an important part of how we match you with the right psychiatrist. Your first visit will include a thorough evaluation so your psychiatrist can confirm your diagnosis and tailor your treatment plan to your current needs.
