Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is a psychiatric nurse practitioner?
A PMHNP-BC is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, an advanced-practice clinician trained to evaluate and diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe and manage psychiatric medication, and provide supportive therapy. I am licensed in Maryland and combine medication management with therapy in one place.
Do you accept insurance?
Insurance and billing are handled through Headway, which checks your coverage when you book. In-network plans change over time, so see the Headway booking page for the current list.
What if I do not have insurance or prefer to pay myself?
Self-pay care is paid out of pocket. Contact me through the Call or Email Me option on my Psychology Today profile to discuss arrangements before booking; Headway's public booking flow may require insurance for new accounts. You can request a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges before deciding to schedule.
Are visits in person or online?
Appointments are offered by telehealth to clients anywhere in Maryland. If you have a question about other visit options, ask when you book through Headway.
What happens at the first appointment?
Your first visit is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation: a welcoming, nonjudgmental conversation about your history, current concerns, strengths, and goals. From there, we build a treatment plan together, which may include medication, supportive therapy, or both.
Can you prescribe medication?
Yes. As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, I can prescribe psychiatric medication in Maryland and provide thoughtful, ongoing monitoring as part of every medication plan.
