Frequently Asked Questions

We are a direct pay specialty practice

  • Insurance companies often dictate the length of sessions and the type of treatment allowed. By remaining out-of-network, I can offer longer, more comprehensive appointments and a treatment plan based on your needs, not a corporation’s policy

  • We provide you with a monthly medical receipt called a Superbill. You submit this to your insurance app, and they mail you a check for the reimbursement amount defined in your plan.

  • I provide both. As an integrative practitioner, I don’t believe in the ‘15-minute med check.’ Even my medication-focused appointements include supportive therapy, coaching, and lifestyle work.

    For patients who want dedicated weekly or bi-weekly psychotherapy, I can provide that directly, or I am more than happy to partner with your existing therapist to coordinate your care.

  • This is a 20-minute chemistry check. We will discuss what you are struggling with and see if our practice is the right place for you. No medical advice is given, and there’s no pressure to book another appointment.

  • If medically appropriate, I can prescribe controlled substances as part of a holistic treatment plan.

  • Unlike traditional psychiatry which focuses solely on medication, we look at lifestyle, nutrition, supplements, and therapy to treat the whole person.

  • We offer both. We have a welcoming office in Sacramento for local patients, and secure video visits for anyone in Northern California.

  • Because my care is highly personalized, ranging from simple medication management to comprehensive integrative treatment plans, my fees vary based on the complexity and length of your visits.

    I believe in transparency, so we will provide you with a clear, detailed fee schedule during your free consultation, once we understand exactly what level of support you need.
