Psychiatric Consultation in Lakewood and Tacoma
What You Might Be Experiencing
As a primary care or medical provider, you have limited time with patients. Their mental health needs can be complex. You might need help managing psychiatric symptoms, confirming diagnoses, or finding treatment options. That’s where I can assist.
I offer psychiatric input so your patients get care that matches their needs.
Who is this Service for?
Primary care and specialty providers seeking diagnostic clarification or treatment recommendations for patients with psychiatric concerns
Clinicians who prefer to maintain primary management but want expert input
Patients can request a one-time second opinion. This is available as a one-time psychiatric evaluation without ongoing medication management.
What To Expect
Grounded in my fellowship training in the collaborative care model of integrated care, I want to make psychiatric consultations smooth, quick, and helpful for you and your patient.
