As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I provide psychiatric medication to mostly college students and younger adults (18+) with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, OCD, PTSD. I treat ADHD with a confirmed diagnoses; I don't offer ADHD testing. I do my best to help you understand potential side effects and how medication can help alleviate symptoms. Medication is one piece of a treatment plan. Most people I see also see a therapist. Taking the time to explore and understand your inner world in whatever way is valuable to you is an essential piece of treatment. I collaborate with a supervising psychiatrist, Margaret Bauman, MD.
As a solo practitioner, I am limited in who I can effectively treat. If you have major mental illness such as schizophrenia, recent hospitalizations, substance abuse, eating disorders or personality disorders, my practice is not the right fit for you. Hospitals, agencies, or larger practices with a team approach may be more suitable.
Self-pay rates are $340 for an Initial Evaluation (50 minutes), and $170 for follow up appointments (25 minutes). We'll meet more frequently when starting a new medication or when making changes, then visits may be spaced out at longer intervals, up to 3 months between visits.
If you have Blue Shield, please contact them to ask if I am in your network.
