Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, I am currently in-network with:
Aetna, Ascension (SmartHealth), Blue Cross Blue Shield, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, Carelon Behavioral Health, Cigna, Horizon Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Jersey, Oscar (Optum), Oxford (Optum), Quest Behavioral Health, Provident, and United Healthcare (Optum).
You may want to verify with your insurance that mental healthcare is covered, and determine if you have a deductible.
What if I don't have insurance?
I offer self pay rates at $300 for your first visit, and $150 for follow up visits with discounts available for students and those in need.
Where are the appointments located?
Patients can choose to be seen in person at my Easton office or virtually using secure telehealth. You must be located in Maryland during your telehealth appointment.
What can I expect during my first appointment?
Your first visit is a comprehensive evaluation where we’ll discuss your history, current concerns, and goals for treatment. Together, we’ll develop a personalized plan that may include medication, lifestyle support, or both.
Do you prescribe medication?
Yes, when appropriate. My approach to medication is thoughtful and individualized. We will discuss options together and make decisions that feel right for you.
Do you provide therapy?
My primary focus is medication management and psychiatric care, but I also provide brief supportive therapy at each appointment. I often work collaboratively with therapists and am happy to coordinate care if you are already in therapy or help you find a therapist if needed.
How often will I need to be seen?
This varies based on your needs. Initially, appointments may be more frequent to establish stability, and then spaced out over time as appropriate.
What if I’m not sure if this is the right fit?
That’s completely okay. You’re welcome to schedule an initial appointment to explore your concerns and see if this approach feels like a good fit for you.
Do you really only work with women?
That is my specialty, but I am open to helping anyone that thinks I would be a good fit. My practice is a safe space that supports anyone, no matter how they identify themselves.
