Services & FAQ

What services do you provide?

I am available in person for patients in the Bellingham area, and for all patients throughout Washington state via telehealth services.
I provide psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and supportive treatments for adolescents and adults.

Diagnoses and areas of treatment include:

Anxiety disorders
Depression, bipolar, and mood disorders
ADHD and inattention disorders
Stress, Trauma, and PTSD
Life transitions, including divorce, relational stress, grief, and loss
Gender dysphoria, including gender affirming hormonal therapy
Disordered eating, including bulimia, binge eating, anorexia, ARFID, and body dysmorphia, including nutritional counseling as desired
Sleep disorders, including various forms of insomnia
Developmental trauma and parental wounds
Attachment disorders
Autism spectrum disorder and other forms of neurodiversity
Chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue
Personality disorders
Medication discontinuation, simplification, or taper

Note on medication discontinuation: Some people may have found themselves on complicated medication regimens over time, and desire to discuss a medication discontinuation and simplification plan. This is a higher risk situation that should be clinician directed, and I would be honored to discuss with you.

How do I establish care?

You can simply respond to the contact form on this website to set up an initial appointment.
I will email you intake paperwork prior to scheduling, and once this is received, we can meet together.

How do you communicate with patients?

I use a combination of Spruce (a HIPAA-compliant text and phone messaging service) and our charting EHR portal to communicate with patients as needed.
Patients can also reach out via phone or email, but these are not the most HIPAA-compliant options.

Do you bill insurance?

At this time, I am an out of network provider. This means that I will not bill your insurance directly. I will provide a superbill for services provided for you to submit to your insurances for reimbursement.

Rates are as follows:

30 min: $145
60 min: $195

Please note: I do require 60 min for first visit, but after that, scheduling is based on personal preference and treatment goals together. Timing and frequency is a collaborative effort.

What ages do you see?

This is considered on a case-by-case basis, but generally approximately 12 years-old and higher. If your child is under 12 years, you are welcome to reach out for a brief intake visit, and if I feel we are a good match, I will communicate this clearly with you.

Do you prescribe controlled substances?

I may or may not prescribe controlled substances as a part of your treatment plan. I am fully licensed and can if we deem this an appropriate part of your treatment plan.

If you come to me on chronic benzodiazepines, please note that I do NOT prescribe these on an ongoing basis for anxiety disorders. We can meet to design a taper plan in collaboration together. I may use these on a very rare, as needed basis only.

Do you provide ESA letters or PFLM forms?

Absolutely! But this is based on a case-by-case basis on an appropriate need basis. Patients must establish for care first, and then these are conversations to be had together.

Services not offered:

I only conduct evaluations for the goal of potential care and treatment, and thus do not provide assessments for legal cases or issues, or disability applications, etc.
