How often will I need to come in?

Ideally, most people who I work with only need to come in every 4-6 weeks once treatment plan has been established. Initially I may want to see you more frequently, if schedule allows.

Is your office accessible?

My office strives to be as accessible to diverse backgrounds as possible, and is always looking to improve. Below are some of the steps I've taken to do my best to be a more accessible provider. 

• Disability Access: I have prioritized having a wheel-chair accessible office, in an ADA compliant building. Additionally, I have a no fragrance policy in my office to protect chemical-sensitive people, use no latex products, and maintain a comfortable low-lighting/no fluorescent lighting environment for photo-sensitive people. My treatment table and seating accommodate people of a range of sizes. Communication with me both in and outside of clinic is available in voice and text-base formats. Service animals are welcome; however, emotional support animals and pets are not permitted.  I am prepared to provide video translation with ASL to patients who are members of the Deaf/Hard of Hearing community (though please advise ahead of time so I can adequately set this up if needed).

• Financial Access: Because I do not take insurance, I am able to choose how run my practice with more freedom, which means more time to be with patients and maintain my own well being. I realize my services are quite expensive and may be out of reach for many. I do not take insurance because it is important to me to be capable of spending the quality amount of time both in person and while working on notes/paperwork I feel is necessary with each of the people that see me. I do have a sliding scale but have to limit how many people I can accommodate.

• Marginalized Communities: I'm a member of the LGBTQ+ community and am working to be an ally to other communities who are historically underrepresented and often given poor care in the medical-industrial complex or have been abused by it. I strive to make my office a safer space for people of any background, knowing that my perspective is limited to my own experience and research. I strive to take part in and financially support initiatives that examine and address the issues of race, sex, gender, mental health, disability, and other topics led by those from the impacted communities. 

Can you get me a medication refill or prescribe me medication?

Typically I do not refill medications unless they are medications I prescribed initially or if I intend to take over management of the medication. Patients should have a primary care provider outside of my practice to manage any medical conditions that require medication. If while under my care we determine a need for medication management I will manage that medication and refills unless you want your primary care provider to do so instead.

I do not prescribe controlled substances.

Can you fill out my disability/worker's compensation/insurance forms? 

I am happy help you with your paperwork if it is a condition I am managing with you. Paperwork that requires more than the time during our appointment may involve an additional fee for the time spent filling it out. I will not bill you without discussing this first. If I am not the physician providing care for the condition in question, I cannot complete forms on your behalf. 

I am always willing to prepare a doctor's note for work or school for your appointments with me.
