As an alternative to in-person consultations in my professional office, I utilize e-Psychiatry as a program for my providing online psychiatric treatment to patients residing in California through a remote, secure, and HIPAA compliant portal for audio and video conferencing. Through use of your device or computer in a private setting (e.g., your home or office) with internet access, we may meet by appointment in online sessions for consultation and therapy.
My Telepsychiatric online services:
- Initial Consultations
- Medication Management
- Online Psychotherapy Sessions
- Electronic Medication Prescriptions*

The e-Psychiatry program with its Telepsychiatry portal is acceptable to most health care insurers for online delivery of mental health services; however, you will need to review your health care plan and verify with your insurer. E-Psychiatry is also available to patients who prefer to self-pay at time of service.
* In compliance with the Ryan Haight Act, for any patient with a medication regimen that may or will or does include controlled substances, an initial in-person medical evaluation is required. A follow-up in-person exam will be necessary at time of refill and/or at least every 24 months. In-person sessions will be in conjunction with online sessions.
