Services and Insurance
All appointments are currently being conducted virtually.
Services
My practice is limited to women and birthing parents (ages 18 and older) who are preparing for pregnancy, are currently pregnant, or are within 3 years postpartum (youngest child under the age of 3).
I treat:
- Mood Disorders (perinatal & postpartum depression)
- Anxiety Disorders (worry, panic, intrusive thoughts, & OCD)
- Premenstrual Dysphoria
- Mental health challenges associated with infertility treatment, birth trauma, and miscarriage
I am licensed to prescribe medications that treat mental health conditions, but I do NOT prescribe stimulant medication for ADHD (i.e. Adderall, Vyvance, Ritalin). I will only prescribe benzodiazepines for short-term use with the goal of tapering off in 4-6 weeks.
Nutrition is an important component of mental health. I have received training in complementary nutrition strategies that support mental health. We will discuss foods and supplements that may be helpful additions to your treatment plan.
Cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, and motivational interviewing are evidence-based therapies for perinatal patients. I integrate elements of these therapies within my practice and treatment plans.
Initial evaluations are ~60 mins and consist of learning about your symptoms, your medical and mental health history, and your goals for treatment. We will discuss treatment options at the end of the initial evaluation, and I will schedule a follow-up session.
Follow up sessions are 30-45 min and consist of medication management, nutrition and supplement counseling, and brief psychotherapy based on individual client goals.
I am a strong believer in the healing that occurs in therapy. I refer all clients to a therapist if they are not currently seeing one. With your permission, I can communicate with your obstetric provider, therapist, or other healthcare providers to make sure your care is coordinated.
Insurance and Payment
Grow Therapy provides the business platform for my practice. Insurance verification and payment are conducted and collected through Grow Therapy. Grow Therapy also provides the electronic health record where patient documentation is stored. All questions regarding billing will be referred to Grow Therapy.
I am credentialed with most major insurances. At this time, I do not accept Medicare or Medicaid. I do accept cash pay patients at $300 for initial evaluation and follow up appointments starting at $100. My no show fee is $75.
