  • At this time, I do not have an in-person clinic and all appointments are via tele-health. However, I plan to open an in-person clinic in the future.

  • At this time, I do not contract with any insurance companies.

    My model of care enables me to focus on patient needs rather than the rigid rules insurance companies place on mental health care practices.

    Those with PPO insurance plans may be able to obtain some percentage of out-of-network coverage. In these cases, I am able to provide a “super bill” with indicated services/codes.

    I am not able to determine eligibility with specific insurance companies and do not coordinate directly with insurance companies.

    Additionally, I am not able to see patients on Medicare, AHCCS, Tri-Care, or Tri-West as these programs prohibit patients from paying out of pocket for services that may be covered on their plans. 

  • I do not offer a sliding scale payment option at this time. However, I hope to implement one in the future. This section will be updated once I am able to offer a slide scale option.

  • At this time, I am able to prescribe controlled substances via tele-health due to the fourth extension of COVID-era prescribing policies enabling temporary waiving of the Ryan Haight Online Pharmacy Consumer Protection Act.

    As 2026 comes to an end, this policy may change, and in-person evaluation may be required for prescribing controlled-substances.

    You are welcome to pursue psychotherapy treatment through Continuum and obtain medications from an in-person practice to ensure access to prescribed controlled substances, given that there is no confirmed extension for the year 2027.
