I specialize exclusively in women's mental health across hormonal transitions - from puberty through menopause. Most psychiatrists treat these issues generically. I understand how estrogen, progesterone, and reproductive transitions affect your brain chemistry, mood, and mental health. Women don't have to educate me about their experiences - I already know.

You can schedule your first appointment by clicking the "Book Appointment" button on our website or calling our office directly. We recommend booking a comprehensive initial evaluation, which allows us to thoroughly understand your concerns and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Yes! We offer secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth appointments for patients throughout Pennsylvania. Many patients find virtual visits convenient and just as effective as in-person care for both initial evaluations and follow-ups.

We operate as an out-of-network practice, which allows us to provide personalized, unhurried care. We provide detailed superbills for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many patients find their insurance covers a significant portion of our fees.

Absolutely. Many adults, especially women, weren't diagnosed in childhood because their symptoms presented differently or were masked by coping strategies. Late diagnosis is common and valid—it's never too late to get answers and support.

Your initial evaluation is a comprehensive 60-90 minute appointment where we'll discuss your medical history, symptoms, lifestyle factors, and treatment goals. You'll leave with a clear diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.
