For Referring Clinicians

A psychiatrist your patients come back and thank you for.

I work alongside therapists and physicians who want a psychiatric partner, not a prescription pad. My practice is integrative and telehealth-based across Florida, California, and Illinois: medication when it genuinely helps, and the whole-person work when it doesn’t. If you have a patient who’s stuck, over-medicated, or asking for something more than another SSRI, that’s who I’m built for.

Who to send my way
If a patient fits any of these, we’re probably a good match.

Treatment-resistant depression

Patients who’ve been through two or more medications without real relief, and are starting to believe nothing will work.

People who want an integrative approach

Lifestyle, therapy, and medication working together, not medication alone. The patients who ask “isn’t there another way?”

High-functioning adults quietly struggling

The ones who hold it together at work and come apart at home. On paper they’re fine; they know they’re not.

Grief that has turned into depression

Loss that outstayed its welcome and settled into something heavier. Worth a careful second look.

Candidates for TMS or Spravato

Treatment-resistant patients who may qualify for TMS or Spravato (esketamine). I offer both in Florida and coordinate them in person.

How I work with you
A referral is a relationship, not a handoff into a void.
01

I keep you in the loop

You referred them; you stay part of the care. I share what’s useful and coordinate rather than quietly take over.

02

I don’t undo your work

If therapy is doing the heavy lifting, I protect it. Medication supports the work; it doesn’t replace it.

03

Longer first visits

A 90-minute evaluation, not a 15-minute med check. Enough time to actually understand the person you sent.

04

Fast, low-friction access

Patients start with a free 15-minute call, usually within the week. No long waitlist to get through the door.

Two ways to refer
OPTION 1 · SIMPLEST

Send them to a free 15-minute call

Give your patient the link. They pick a time, we talk, and if it’s a fit we go from there. Nothing for you to fill out.

OPTION 2 · WARM HANDOFF

Reach me directly

Prefer to talk it through first, or send a note about the patient? I answer my own email and my own phone.

Every referral is a patient you trusted me with. I don’t take that lightly.
