Your Questions, Answered

Yes, I’m in network with many insurance plans. Before you book your appointment, please call the member services number on your insurance card to confirm that I’m in network with your plan and ask about your coverage for outpatient mental health visits, including any copay or deductible. Self-pay is also an option for anyone who prefers it or whose insurance isn’t in network.

Getting started is simple. You can book your first appointment online, choosing a time that works for you. You’ll then receive intake forms by email. Once you’ve completed them, I’ll review your information and confirm your appointment, usually within 1-2 business days. If you have questions first, or would rather I reach out to you, send a message through the contact form and I’ll get back to you within 1-2 business days.

If you plan to use insurance, please confirm that I’m in network with your plan before booking.

Both. Telehealth in Missouri, Arizona, Montana, and Wyoming.
In-person visits available upon request in Clayton and Chesterfield, Missouri.

I specialize in anxiety and related conditions, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, agoraphobia, OCD, and hair pulling and skin picking. I also treat schizophrenia (including care with Cobenfy), depression and mood disorders, bipolar disorder, adult ADHD, sleep issues, and eating disorders.

Self-pay can be a good option for many people. If you haven’t met your insurance deductible for the year, my self-pay rates may be less than what you’d be expected to pay out of pocket through insurance.

Because insurance isn’t involved, no diagnosis is shared with an insurance company, and your treatment plan isn’t limited by what they will approve.

The initial evaluation is 60 minutes and costs $350. Follow-up medication management visits are 30 minutes and cost $150.

Superbills are available on request if you’d like to submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

Missouri Patients: Yes, when clinically appropriate. This can include medications for ADHD, anxiety or sleep. Controlled substances aren’t prescribed for everyone; they’re used only when clinically necessary, based on a full evaluation, and may involve additional testing beforehand. All prescribing is done in collaboration with my collaborating physician, in accordance with Missouri regulations.

Arizona, Montana, and Wyoming patients: Currently, I offer psychiatric evaluations and ongoing treatment with non-controlled medications, which are effective for many people with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and more. My DEA registration is currently for Missouri only, so I’m not able to prescribe controlled substances (such as stimulants, benzodiazepines, or certain sleep medications) in these states.

Please give at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. That lets me offer your time to someone else who needs care. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice and missed appointments are subject to a $75 fee.
