FAQ's

Are you a therapist or counselor?
No. I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner.  I prescribe medication and make lifestyle modification recommendations. Therapy is very helpful when working toward overall wellness.  I work closely with many counselors and therapists and am happy to provide you their information or make a formal referral. 
What if I don't want to take medication?
Great! I am happy to work with you to approach your path to wellness from a different angle that works best for you.  This may involve alternative approaches such as lifestyle modification recommendations, dietary changes, and supplement recommendations. 
What does telepsychiatry mean?
I offer appointments through two avenues: in person, and via tele psychiatry.  In a tele psychiatry appointment, we utilize HIPAA-compliant videoconferencing technology to perform our appointments.  You can participate in your appointment from the comfort of your own home, or wherever you choose as long as you have an internet connection and a device with the capability to access the the doxy.me website. I will periodically need to see you in person, too. 
Can my [mom, brother, daughter/son, dog] come see you?
Mom, brother, daughter/son yes...dog, no. I treat a variety of mental health ailments across the lifespan and am happy to have referrals for family members or loved ones from patients who are already established with me.
