No, you do not need a referral! You can schedule an appointment directly with me. I welcome self-referrals and am here to help anyone seeking psychiatric care in Nevada.

Yes! I accept multiple insurance plans to make quality mental health care accessible. Please contact me to verify if your specific insurance plan is accepted.

For out-of-network insurance plans, I can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. I also offer self-pay options for those who prefer to pay out-of-pocket.

Both appointment types provide the same high-quality care. The main difference is convenience:

Telehealth: Secure video appointments from the comfort of your home using a HIPAA-compliant platform.
In-Person: Traditional face-to-face appointments at my office location.

Local care matters.

As federal prescribing rules evolve, some medications may require in-person visits. Because I'm locally based, I can offer both telehealth and in-office care—so your treatment stays consistent, compliant, and uninterrupted.

Your first appointment is a comprehensive evaluation where we'll discuss:

Your current symptoms and concerns
Your medical and mental health history
Your goals for treatment
Any previous treatments or medications
A personalized treatment plan moving forward

This appointment typically lasts 60-90 minutes. It's a safe space to share openly and ask any questions you may have.

Follow-up appointments typically last 30 minutes. During these visits, we'll review your progress, discuss any medication adjustments, address side effects or concerns, and ensure your treatment plan is working effectively for you.

Yes, when medically appropriate, I do prescribe controlled substances such as ADHD medications and anti-anxiety medications. All prescriptions are carefully evaluated based on your individual needs and follow Nevada state regulations.

My practice focuses on psychiatric medication management, and for patients who would benefit from more intensive talk therapy in addition to medication management, I'm happy to provide referrals to trusted therapists and work collaboratively to provide comprehensive care.

Brief Supportive Therapy Included

I incorporate brief supportive therapy to help patients better understand their symptoms, develop insight, and apply strategies that support daily functioning.

This may include psychoeducation, validation, problem-solving, and skills drawn from evidence-based approaches I've learned throughout my clinical training and practice.

That's completely fine! During your initial evaluation, we'll review your current medications and treatment plan. I'll work with you to determine if any adjustments are needed or if we should continue your current regimen. Your care is always collaborative and based on what's working for you.

Here are a few things to prepare before your first appointment:

Complete any intake paperwork sent to you in advance
Bring a list of current medications (including dosages)
Write down any questions or concerns you want to discuss
Have your medical history and previous treatment records available
For telehealth: ensure you have a private, quiet space and stable internet connection

I understand that life happens! Please provide at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. This allows me to offer that time to another patient in need.

No Cancellation Fees

I currently do not charge late cancellation or no-show fees, though I do ask for your consideration in keeping scheduled appointments or providing advance notice when possible.
