You Don't Have To Manage This Alone.
Board-certified psychiatry. Virtual. Accepting new patients.
Checkpoint One
Do three or more of these describe your last two weeks?
Tap the ones that feel true. There are no wrong answers here — just a quiet way to start naming what you're noticing.
This checklist is a quiet starting point — not a diagnosis, not a score. What you select stays private.
Checkpoint Two
Five questions. Honest sliders.
Move each scale to where it actually feels true — not where you think it should be. There's no score to pass.
01How would you describe your sleep over the last two weeks?
02How often have you felt low, empty, or hopeless?
03How difficult is it to concentrate on tasks you care about?
04How much have you pulled back from people or activities?
05How often do heavy, intrusive, or dark thoughts appear?
Your responses are not stored or shared.
Checkpoint Three
What actually happens in a first session.
Most people have never done this before. Here's what to expect — and what you're allowed to not know yet.
Camera on or off — your choice.
There is no requirement to be seen before you're ready. Some people start audio-only. That's a completely valid way to begin.
What they'll ask.
What brought you here. What's been hardest. How long. What you've already tried. Questions that are curious, not interrogative.
What they won't push.
No pressure to commit to medication. No pressure to have a clear answer. You don't need to have it figured out — that's the point of the appointment.
What you'll leave with.
A direction. A next step that's yours to choose. Sometimes that's a prescription. Sometimes it's a referral. Sometimes it's just finally having a name for it.
Free 15-Minute Consult
No commitment. No paperwork before the call. Just a conversation to see if this feels right.

Checkpoint Four
Two paths. Both lead somewhere real.
There's no one-size treatment. The first session is about finding out which direction is actually right for you.
Medication Management
A careful, evidence-based approach to finding the right medication — or confirming you don't need one. No default prescriptions. Every decision is explained.
- Full psychiatric evaluation
- Medication options reviewed together
- Monthly check-ins included
- Adjustments without starting over
Therapy-Only Path
Structured psychiatric support without medication. Diagnosis, coping frameworks, and referrals to therapists who specialize in exactly what you're working through.
- Formal diagnosis if appropriate
- CBT and DBT-informed guidance
- Therapist matching and referral
- Ongoing psychiatric oversight
What it sounded like for others.
“I'd been telling my GP I was fine for three years. In one session, she asked one question that made me realize I wasn't.”

“I didn't want to say it to my husband first. I needed to say it to someone who wasn't going to be scared by it. She wasn't.”
