Referrals
I welcome referrals from therapists, pediatricians, school professionals, and community providers. My goal is to offer specialized psychiatric care for adolescents and young adults across Central New York as a solo provider.
Appropriate Referrals
This practice is a good fit for patients who:
- Are seeking outpatient psychiatric evaluation or medication management
- Are stable enough for outpatient care
- Are open to a collaborative, structured treatment approach
- May benefit from combined therapeutic support and medication management
- Have mild to moderate symptoms of anxiety, ADHD, depression, or emotional dysregulation
Not Appropriate for This Practice
This practice may not be the best fit for individuals who:
- Require crisis intervention or urgent psychiatric care
- Have active safety concerns (suicidal or homicidal risk requiring immediate support)
- Require intensive or higher levels of care (inpatient, partial hospitalization, or intensive outpatient programs)
- Seeking controlled substances without appropriate clinical indication
- Are unable to participate in a collaborative outpatient treatment model
