What should a new client know about working with you?

Working with me is a collaborative and supportive experience. I take the time to truly listen and understand your concerns, goals, and what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past. I focus on thoughtful, individualized care, especially when it comes to medication management. My goal is to help you feel comfortable asking questions, involved in your treatment, and confident in the plan we create together. I provide care in both English and Spanish and strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported every step of the way.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We begin with a comprehensive initial evaluation where we review your symptoms, history, and goals. From there, we develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include medication management and ongoing follow-up visits. Follow-up appointments focus on monitoring progress, adjusting treatment as needed, and making sure you are feeling supported and improving over time. My approach is flexible and collaborative, with the goal of helping you feel better, function better, and maintain long-term stability.

    More information on payments and coverage

    I accept a variety of insurance plans, which may vary based on availability and eligibility at the time of booking. Coverage, copays, deductibles, and out-of-pocket costs are determined by your individual insurance plan, and patients are responsible for verifying their benefits. For patients choosing self-pay, transparent rates are available and payment is typically collected at the time of service. I strive to keep the process simple and clear so there are no surprises. Please note that any required copays, coinsurance, or balances are due at the time of your appointment. If you have questions about coverage or costs, I’m happy to review them with you prior to your visit.
