I make every effort to respond to inquiries via phone or email within 1-2 business days.

New patients can typically expect to be seen within 1 week of initial call, sometimes as soon as the same week.

Please note, confidential information should not be shared through this website or email as security cannot be guaranteed.

Like most psychiatrists I do not currently participate directly in any insurance plans, and am an “out-of-network” provider. My fee is standard and customary for the area. Fees will be discussed during the initial phone consultation.

I currently offer limited number of sliding scale spots that are based on financial need.

I am currently out of network for all insurances. However, the majority of my patients use their insurance out of network benefits. Patients typically get reimbursed 50-80% of the session fee using their benefits. I will provide you with all necessary documentation which you can then submit to your insurance plan for reimbursement.

If you have out-of-network benefits, your insurance company will typically pay 50-80% of the cost of each session after you’ve met your deductible.

You can confirm the benefits of your health insurance plan with your health insurance provider directly. Just call the number on the back of your health insurance card listed under Member Services. Some questions to ask are:

• Do I have out-of-network coverage for outpatient mental health? Am I able to use these benefits for telehealth?

• What is my out-of-network deductible?

• How much of my deductible has been met this year?

• Do I need a referral from an in-network provider to see someone out-of-network?

• How do I submit claim forms for reimbursement?

• How long does it take for me to receive reimbursement?

I am also happy to walk you through specific CPT codes and how to ask insurances how much of each visit type they will cover during our consultation call.

Fee is due at the start of the session. I accept credit card, debit card, cash, checks, and Zelle. 

Some patients choose to meet weekly to twice weekly and others choose to meet every other week or once a month. We will decide together what the right frequency is for you.

Initially or during times of medication adjustments, it is helpful to meet weekly to closely monitor and support your treatment.

Initial psychiatric evaluation is 60- 90 minutes and subsequent sessions are 30 or 45 minutes depending on your clinical needs. Psychotherapy sessions are 45 minutes per session. 

Initial couples therapy evaluation is 90 minutes and subsequent sessions are 60 minutes.

Cancelled sessions require at least 48 business hours notice by phone or email. Cancellations after that time will incur the full session fee.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. 

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. 

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. 

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. 

• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. 

• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
