These consultations are not intended for those who are in crisis. For this, call 911 and/or go to the nearest emergency room.
If you would like to schedule a consultation for yourself or child, please first review the information on this page. At the bottom of this page is a calendar for requesting a consultation. In the process of scheduling, you will see a short form that invites you to share a brief summary of your concerns. This allows me to determine if I can be helpful, before confirming your consultation. The times and fees are listed below.
Those Who Use This Service
Those interested in learning more about specific root causes that may be contributing to their or their child's specific brain related symptoms.
Those who may have not fully benefited from or tolerated previous allopathic/conventional psychiatric treatment or functional medicine treatment. They may feel they are not progressing, or feel that something is being missed.
Those interested in possible treatment. A consultation prior to a patient evaluation allows us both to consider if this type of treatment is a good fit. Based on the consultation, if treatment is deemed appropriate, many choose to start completing useful lab tests, so that results are available at the time of the evaluation. This allows a more comprehensive treatment plan to be provided at the evaluation. I am licensed in Florida, Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana. I am able to provide patient evaluations and treatment to:
those who live in or are able to travel to one of these states
those who reside in a state that allows interstate tele-health
Once the consultation is purchased and scheduled,I will review other relevant information. The below items can be helpful to share at least a couple days in advance of a consultation.
Your goals for the call

During your consultation, I will obtain further information from you to better understand what factors may be contributing to your symptoms, what previously may have been missed in terms of underlying factors, diagnoses or treatments, provide direction on how you can move forward and help you understand the bigger picture of your illness. A phone consultation does not guarantee that I will be able to see you as a patient.
