I specialize in transformative healing

My areas of specialization make me best suited to provide extraordinary care for patients between the ages of 4-64 years old, who struggle with the following conditions:

• Mood Disorders: major depression, dysthymia (low grade depression), stable bipolar illness, particularly type II.

• Anxiety: Phobias, Generalized and Social Anxiety, Performance Anxiety

• Developmental Disorders and disorders beginning in youth: Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD (adult patients must have prior diagnostic evaluation through neuropsychology), Anxiety Disorders developing in youth, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD), tic disorders (tourette’s disease)

• Women’s mental health:

o Perinatal mental health postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety

o Premenstrual Dysphoric disorder

• Trauma (PTSD, chronic trauma, acute stress disorders)

• Grief and Complicated grief

• Divorce or Separation grief

• Gender Dysphoria

• OCD

• Existential dread and the meaning of life

• Religious trauma and Divine Male / Divine Female work

Ideal management of certain other conditions requires a larger team and/or someone with more expertise in that field. As a result, I am not a good fit for those who have challenges that involve, require, or include:

• Emergency care or in-hospital care

• Severe bipolar disorder and psychosis (e.g. schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder)

• Court-ordered treatment

• Active eating disorders (I would consider if part of a larger team managing)

• Dementia

• Geriatric Psychiatry

• ECT or TMS

I will accept some insurances, and am currently in network for :

• Dean Health Plan

• United Health Care

• Quartz

• Alliance

• GHC-SCW

• Aetna

I will not be able to accept Medicare or Medicaid (Badgercare) as the primary coverage.

I am an “out-of-network” provider for some insurances (such as Anthem BCBS), so please check with your insurance company to see if your policy includes out of network coverage.

I also accept Out of Pocket (OOP) contracts for those that want to pay directly “fee for service.” You can use your Employer Beneift plans to seek pre-tax reimbursement for your patient care; including FSAs, HRAs, HSAs and medical reimbursement accounts.

Fees are due in full at the time of service. On request, I will provide an invoice with the appropriate diagnostic information and services for patients seeking reimbursement from their insurance company privately.

Initial psychiatric evaluation 60-90 minutes) $425

Follow-up psychiatric evaluation with medication management (less than 15 minutes): $200

Follow-up psychiatric evaluation with medication management, and no therapy (25-30 minutes and / or moderate complexity): $250

Follow-up psychiatric evaluation with medication management, and no therapy (25-30 minutes and / or severe complexity): $300

Sliding scale options for those facing financial hardship are available.

Your appointment time is reserved exclusively for you. I never double-book and generally run a punctual practice. I understand that life happens, and if you arrive late, I’m happy to see you for the time remaining in your appointment. An exception to this is if you arrive 10 or more minutes late for a 25-minute medication management visit. Because the remaining time is inadequate for providing good care, I may choose to have you reschedule the visit instead.

2 business days’ notice is requested for appointment cancellations or changes. If less notice (or no notice, in the case of no-shows) is given, the full appointment fee will be charged.

I can see patients either in person or via telemedicine.
