What is your specialty?
I specialize in psychiatric medication management and therapy for women in perimenopause and menopause, treating anxiety, mood changes, sleep problems, and difficulty focusing. My goal is to help you feel stable enough to grow into a stronger, more self-directed version of yourself.
Where are you located?
I'm based in Maine, with office space in the Back Cove area of Portland and in Farmington, near the Sugarloaf and Saddleback ski areas in the Western Foothills.
How does online therapy work?
I offer televideo sessions to anyone located in Maine, including seasonal residents during their time in the state. Many clients are seen entirely by telehealth, though depending on your medication, periodic in-person visits may be needed for medical monitoring.
Do you offer in-person sessions?
Yes. I provide a comfortable, private office space for clients who prefer to meet in person.
What are your fees?
A 75-minute intake appointment, which includes a full medical and psychiatric history and treatment planning, is $400. A 55-minute follow-up appointment is $300, and a 25-minute follow-up appointment ranges from $200 to $250 depending on whether therapy is included.
Do you take insurance?
I'm in-network with Medicare, Martin's Point, Maine Community Health Options, and Harvard Pilgrim/HPI. For all other carriers, I'm out-of-network, which means you pay at the time of your session and may be able to submit a receipt for partial reimbursement if your plan offers out-of-network benefits. Note that MaineCare does not reimburse for out-of-network care, and I'm unable to see clients who have Medicare as primary and MaineCare as secondary insurance. Because insurance plans vary in what they cover and can request repayment after the fact, you're responsible for understanding your plan's specific terms, and I'll help you navigate that as we go.
What if I already have a therapist I love?
That's not a problem. Many clients appreciate having one clinician manage both medication and therapy, but if you're already working with a therapist you trust, we can focus our sessions more narrowly on medication, nutrition and supplement support, and targeted strategies to shift your symptoms.
What is a Good Faith Estimate?
Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges before or when you schedule services, covering the primary service and any related items. If your final bill exceeds that estimate by $400 or more, you have the right to dispute it. For questions about the federal rule, visit CMS.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 985-3059.
