I offer integrative psychiatry and traditional medication management for conditions including anxiety disorders, OCD, mood disorders, ADHD in women, and hormonal transitions such as PMDD. I also provide hormone optimization therapy and hormone supplementation for women navigating perimenopause and menopause, and medically supervised weight loss — including GLP-1 therapy with comprehensive metabolic monitoring. All services are delivered within a private, independent practice model.

Yes. I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone for prospective patients. This is an opportunity to ask questions, share what brings you in, and get a sense of whether my approach aligns with what you're looking for.

My practice is intentionally small to ensure I can give each patient the time and attention they deserve. Please reach out to inquire about current availability. If I am at capacity, I will let you know and can add you to a waitlist.

In-person care is available in Buffalo, NY. I also offer secure telehealth services for patients located in New York. Many patients choose a combination of both depending on their preference and schedule.

Established patients communicate with me through Spruce, a HIPAA-compliant secure messaging platform. You will receive instructions for signing up for Spruce after becoming a patient. You may also reach me by HIPAA-compliant email at [email protected]. Please note that between-session communication is intended for non-urgent matters. If you are experiencing a psychiatric emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

I accept all major credit and debit cards, HSA/FSA cards, and cash. Payment is due at the time of service. I do not accept checks.

Prescription refills requested between scheduled appointments may incur a small administrative fee. Prior authorization requests and letters of medical necessity submitted to insurance companies are handled on a case-by-case basis. I will always discuss any associated fees with you in advance.

Your appointment time is reserved and protected for you. I do not double-book appointments, so you have the benefit of my full care and attention. I also spend time preparing for your session to maximize the value of our time together. As such, hp | np Health requires appointments to be cancelled with 48 hours’ notice. Missed appointments and late cancellations will be billed the full appointment fee.

No. My practice focuses on psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and integrative approaches to mental health — not psychotherapy or talk therapy. I strongly believe in the value of therapy and will often recommend working with a therapist alongside our care together. I am happy to collaborate with your existing therapist or help connect you with one.

Integrative psychiatry means I look beyond symptoms to understand the whole person — including biological, hormonal, lifestyle, and environmental factors that contribute to mental health. In practice, this means I may explore things like sleep quality, hormonal status, stress patterns, and supplement options alongside traditional medication management. I don't replace evidence-based medicine; I expand it.

I do not offer controlled substances such as stimulants or benzodiazepines via telehealth. Patients in New York who are able to be seen in person are eligible for clinically appropriate controlled substance prescriptions, subject to thorough evaluation and ongoing monitoring.

At this time, my practice focuses on adult patients (18 and older). I do not currently see children or adolescents.

Women experiencing symptoms of perimenopause or menopause — including hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, brain fog, sleep disruption, low libido, or vaginal dryness — may be candidates for hormone optimization therapy. A thorough evaluation including symptom history and lab work is required before any hormone therapy is initiated. HRT is not appropriate for everyone, and we will discuss the benefits, risks, and alternatives together.

I offer hormone optimization therapy using FDA-approved formulations. This may include estradiol (patch, gel, or spray), progesterone (oral or topical), and testosterone when appropriate. I do not use compounded hormones as a first-line approach, and I do not offer pellet therapy. All protocols are individualized based on your symptoms, lab values, and health history.

Yes. I prescribe compounded FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonists including Semaglutide (Wegovy®) and Tirzepatide (Zepbound®) for medically appropriate candidates. A comprehensive metabolic evaluation is required before initiation. I also prescribe name brand FDA approved GLP-1 receptor agonists for a monthly membership fee of $75.

Medical weight management services at hp | np Health are provided on a private-pay basis and are not billed to insurance. GLP-1 medications prescribed through this practice are typically compounded formulations, which are substantially more affordable and accessible than brand-name products. Patients who prefer brand-name medications (Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, or Zepbound®) may obtain them directly through manufacturer programs such as Eli Lilly Direct or Novo Nordisk, while continuing clinical management through this practice for a monthly fee of $75.
