Practice Policies & Information

Communication
I aim to return calls within 24–48 hours. Once you are established with my practice, you may also communicate with me through the patient portal.

Patient Eligibility
I currently accept adult and limited adolescent clients. We will discuss your needs before scheduling to ensure a good fit.

Insurance & Payment
I am currently credentialed with:

• Aetna
• Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts
• Carelon (Montana)
• Cigna
• Oscar
• Optum
• Oxford
• United Health Care

Insurance availability varies by state, and I will confirm your coverage before booking. I also offer private-pay options, which many clients prefer over using insurance. Additional carriers are pending, though processing may take several months.

State Licensure
I can currently accept patients in:

• Florida
• Montana
• Colorado
• New York

Cash and insurance options vary by state. I am in the process of licensing in additional states at this time.

Medication Management

I strive to treat your concerns with the care they deserve. Mental and behavioral health medications are not “one-size-fits-all.” Each person responds differently, and dosages often need to be carefully adjusted—tapered up or down—to determine effectiveness. Sometimes, more than one medication may be necessary to fully address a condition.

Controlled Substances

Whenever possible, I avoid prescribing controlled substances. Also, DEA requirements and prescribing processes vary by state, so this must be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Medication Safety
Many medications have the potential for significant side effects. I will review these with you at the time of prescribing, but I also encourage you to confirm with your pharmacist. If you notice any concerning effects, please contact me promptly. For severe reactions, call 911.

Mental Health Emergencies
If you are in emotional crisis or thinking of harming yourself, call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988 or dial 911 immediately.

Special thanks to my friend Suzi for allowing me to share many of her beautiful photos on my website.
