Nurturing Your Roots
For Growth

Yes! I am currently accepting new clients. If you don't see a time that works for you through online booking, please call to discuss other availability or send me a message via the contact form. I'm happy to help find something that fits.

I work with adults ages 18 to 64 across Pennsylvania, providing medication management with practical supportive guidance for daily life. I treat burnout, stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, trauma/PTSD, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and other mood-related concerns.

New clients: click "Book" to schedule an intake, or call 215-550-1614 or use the contact form with questions. Established clients: follow-ups are typically scheduled during your appointment, or anytime through the client portal at rootedmind.intakeq.com/portal

Sessions are currently telehealth only. You will receive a secure HIPAA compliant video link (Doxy.me). Please note that both audio and visual are required. You must be located in Pennsylvania during the visit. Please refrain from driving and smoking during visits.

Yes, I accept most major insurance plans through Headway, including Aetna, BCBS/Highmark, Cigna, Independence Blue Cross, Oscar, Oxford, and United Healthcare (Optum). Self-pay is also available: $225 for initial evaluation (60-75 minutes) and $125 for follow-up visit (up to 30 minutes).

Headway is the platform I use to handle insurance billing and payments. After you schedule an intake, they'll email you to confirm your coverage and provide a cost estimate. Your clinical notes stay in a separate, secure system and are only shared when required, such as for insurance audits, or with your permission.

ADHD support and treatment may require a recent neuropsychological evaluation confirming the diagnosis. Stimulant prescriptions are not prescribed at the first visit and require further medical assessment and other documentation to ensure safe treatment. Non-stimulant options, such as Strattera or Wellbutrin, may also be considered. Stimulants will not be prescribed if you are taking other controlled substances or using illicit substances.

This practice does not prescribe benzodiazepines or hypnotics. These medications are intended for short-term support for anxiety and sleep, with long-term use carrying significant risks. Stimulants may be prescribed when medically indicated.

While brief therapy and supportive interventions may be included in follow-up visits, my practice primarily focuses on medication management rather than standalone ongoing therapy. If you're seeking therapy only, I'm happy to refer you to trusted providers.

Follow-up frequency depends on your individual treatment plan, but visits are typically scheduled every 2-4 weeks, especially early in care or after any medication changes. Once you're stable on a medication regimen, follow-up visits can be scheduled up to every 3 months.

Refill requests should be made through the client portal at least one week before you run out. You'll typically receive refills during a visit that covers you until your next scheduled visit. A refill may require a visit to ensure your treatment plan is still appropriate, and medication changes are only made during a visit.

This practice is not a good fit for individuals needing immediate crisis support, on-call availability, or intensive services. This includes active suicidal or homicidal thoughts with plan and intent, psychosis, severe substance use, or frequent psychiatric hospitalizations. These concerns are best supported in settings with more comprehensive resources, and I can help direct you to appropriate care.

Cancellations require 24 hours' notice. Late cancellations, rescheduling or no-shows of less than 24 hours will incur a $50 fee. If you do not show up to your appointment by 15 minutes from the start time, it will be considered a no-show.

Disability, workers' compensation, forensic, and emotional support animal documentation are not provided. Any other requests for forms or letters should be made ahead of time and will be completed during your appointment. Depending on the request, I'll let you know whether it can be completed.

After-hour support and crisis services are not offered at this practice. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or emergency, please seek immediate support using the resources below:
