Yes. I’m currently in-network with Providence, Regence BlueCross BlueShield and Aetna.
I’m also in the process of expanding my insurance panel and will update this page as new plans are added.

If your plan is not in-network, I can provide a detailed receipt (superbill) for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

If you are using insurance, you may receive a few brief forms from my billing partners so your benefits can be verified before your first appointment. This is a standard part of the process and helps ensure there are no billing surprises.

“Out of network” simply means I don’t have a contract with your insurance company.
You can still work with me — it just means your insurance pays you instead of paying me directly.

Here’s how it usually works:

1. You pay me for your session at the time of the visit.

2. I give you a detailed receipt called a superbill.

3. You submit it to your insurance company.

4. If your plan includes out-of-network benefits, they may reimburse you for a portion of the cost.

A superbill is simply a detailed receipt with the medical codes your insurance needs to process a claim. I’ll give you what you need to submit it, and your insurance will determine reimbursement based on your plan.

To find out whether you can get reimbursement, call your insurance company and ask:
• Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?
• Do you cover telehealth visits?
• What percentage do you reimburse for CPT codes 90792 and 99214/90833?
• What is my out-of-network deductible and how much of it have I met?

These questions give you a clear picture of what your insurance will cover and what your personal cost will be — no guessing, no surprises, just the information you need to make the best decision for yourself.

Some people prefer private-pay care because it allows for more flexibility, and treatment that isn’t limited by their insurances rules. It also lets you choose a provider who feels like the right fit, not just the one who’s in-network.

Using insurance does not mean you receive lower-quality care — the difference is simply in structure and options, not in how seriously I take your symptoms or goals.

Private pay offers more freedom. Insurance offers more affordability. My job is to help you choose what makes the most sense for your life, budget, and wellbeing.

Yes. Deprescribing is the thoughtful, collaborative process of reducing or discontinuing medications that may no longer be necessary or helpful.

I work closely with patients to evaluate their current medications, discuss risks and benefits, and—when appropriate—create a gradual, safe tapering plan that supports stability at every step.

Deprescribing can be especially helpful for those experiencing side effects, feeling overmedicated, or navigating polypharmacy.

My goal is to help rebuild a treatment plan that truly supports how you want to feel.

I do prescribe benzodiazepines, but only when clinically appropriate and never at the first visit. They are used thoughtfully, short-term when possible, and always within a broader treatment plan focused on safety and long-term support.

This isn’t about judgment, it’s about safety, collaboration, and making sure your treatment actually supports your life in the long run.

Your first appointment is 60–75 minutes and focused on understanding your story, symptoms, and goals, without rushing. We’ll talk through what you’ve been experiencing and begin building a treatment plan that feels realistic and supportive.

You can choose to meet in person in my Portland office or via telehealth if that feels more comfortable or convenient. Either way, the goal is for you to leave feeling heard, informed, and clear about your next steps.

You don’t have to prepare anything or explain everything perfectly — just come as you are.

I provide outpatient psychiatric care, which means I’m able to support patients who are stable and safe in an outpatient setting.

I do not provide treatment for:

• active suicidal intent or plan

• acute psychiatric emergencies

• primary substance use disorders

If you are experiencing thoughts of harming yourself or are in immediate crisis, please call 988, go to your nearest emergency room, or contact local crisis services.
