No, however I can provide you with a superbill to submit for reimbursement from your insurance provider.

As an Integrative Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I offer a holistic, personalized approach that goes beyond the limitations of traditional, in-network care. Unlike many in-network providers who often operate under time constraints and rigid treatment models, I take the time to truly understand you as a whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

Rather than focusing solely on symptom management and medication, I emphasize root-cause healing, blending conventional psychiatry with functional medicine, nutrition, mindfulness, and other evidence-based modalities. My goal is to empower you with sustainable, long-term well-being, not just temporary relief.

By working outside of the insurance model, I have the flexibility to provide extended visits, in-depth assessments, and a highly individualized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. This means more time to listen, collaborate, and develop strategies that align with your lifestyle, values, and health goals—without the pressure of rushed appointments or one-size-fits-all solutions.

In short, my approach is not about checking boxes; it’s about transforming mental health care into a deeply personalized, empowering, and healing journey designed just for you.

Balancing Relief and Responsibility: The Art of As-Needed Benzodiazepine Prescribing
Prescribing benzodiazepines on an as-needed basis requires a delicate balance
between offering immediate relief and promoting long-term well-being. These medications serve as a vital tool in managing acute anxiety, panic attacks, and situational distress, providing patients with the reassurance of control during moments of overwhelming symptoms. However, their use demands careful consideration—prescribers must navigate the fine line between therapeutic benefit and the potential for dependence, tolerance, or misuse.

By tailoring prescriptions to individual needs, setting clear guidelines for use, and prioritizing non-pharmacological interventions, clinicians can empower patients with both the means for short-term symptom relief and the strategies for long-term resilience. Thoughtful, informed prescribing fosters a relationship of trust, where patients feel supported, not reliant—ensuring that benzodiazepines remain a bridge to stability rather than a barrier to recovery.
