If I don't take your insurance I can send you a medical receipt (superbill) to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement of your payment. Send me an email!

Here are some reasons we'd be a great fit!

• You’re new to the idea of medication
  
• You’ve had a less-than-ideal experience with meds in the past
• You want combined therapy and meds to ensure you get the most out of our time together
• You love learning about your brain and taking an active part in your mental wellness
• You want longer, virtual appointments at times like lunch and evenings
• Your long-term goal is graduating from care when you’re ready
  

I'm not a good fit if any of these are your situation:

• You won’t consider meds AT ALL
  
• You need prescriptions for controlled medications (ie Xanax, Adderall, etc)
  
• You’ve had a recent mental health hospitalization
  
• You’re on medications that require regular labs and vital signs
  
• You’ve been having suicidal thoughts, or have trouble staying safe because of self-harm
  

**I strongly recommend IN-PERSON CARE if your situation is listed here
