Philosophy on Collaborative Care: I firmly believe that the best outcomes result from collaboration among members of a person’s team, including in ‘split treatment’ situations with a separate therapist and psychiatrist. By combining our expertise and insights, we can better create a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses the unique needs of each person, especially when medications may be needed. I value the therapeutic relationship that therapists have built with their clients and strive to honor and support that relationship in my consultation.

Accessible and Responsive: I understand that reaching out to a psychiatrist for a referral can sometimes be challenging. That’s why I am committed to being accessible and responsive to professionals who wish to collaborate. I believe in open lines of communication and prompt replies to inquiries. My goal is to establish an ongoing professional relationship built on trust, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to the people we serve.

Direct Communication: Prior to making a referral, I encourage new referrers to contact me directly. I’m always happy to meet colleagues in-person or virtually to get to know one another’s style of working, understand expectations, and how we can best collaborate. This direct communication allows us to establish a working relationship to ensure a smooth experience for patients/clients.

Please feel free to reach out to me via phone or email (without PHI) to coordinate a time to discuss potential referrals or to address any questions you may have about working together. I look forward to connecting with you.
