Integrative psychiatry merges conventional psychiatric treatments like medication and psychotherapy with complementary methods such as lifestyle changes, stress management, nutritional counseling, and supplements. It’s about finding a balanced approach tailored to your needs. While I value traditional medications, I also emphasize non-medication strategies that can enhance your well-being and treat psychiatric symptoms effectively. Our discussions will explore these options, ensuring we find the best path forward for you.

Where Do You See Patients?

Please be aware that I’m licensed in Arizona, and per regulations, I can only see patients located in the state of Arizona. I currently offer virtual appointments through a secure video platform via PracticeQ.

Do You Take Insurance?

I mostly operate as an out-of-network (OON) provider with insurance companies. You may qualify for reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits, typically found in PPO plans. Medicare, Medicaid, and HMO plans do not cover appointment costs. I provide superbills for reimbursement submission.

I am contracted with Aetna and Cigna only at this time.

Do You Take HSA/FSA Cards?

I do accept HSA/FSA cards as long as they are from major card brands (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Amex), and I will provide a superbill identifying services rendered.

What Is The Difference Between a Nurse Practitioner and a Psychiatrist?

Both Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners and Psychiatrists are skilled in assessing, diagnosing, and treating mental health conditions using medications and psychotherapy. Research indicates that Nurse Practitioners are often as good as or better than physicians. Nurse Practitioners are trained under a nursing model to care for the whole patient in addition to their disease. Furthermore, they have experience at the bedside and know the most effective ways to communicate with patients. Whether you choose a Nurse Practitioner or Psychiatrist, rest assured that you’ll receive compassionate and capable care.
