Fees

  • 50 minute visits $175
  • A sliding scale fee may be available. Please ask if you need a reduced fee.

Benzodiazepine Policy

I do not prescribe benzodiazepines for long term use. I will work with you to taper off benzodiazepines and find safer and healthier options to manage your anxiety and/or panic. Research clearly shows that these medications are not safe to be taken for long periods of time and they have significant short and long term side effects. I do not write refills for benzodiazepines at the first visit so please plan to have another provider prescribe those for you if you are in need of a refill.
