Things to know before we meet.

Think of a PMHNP as a blend of high-level clinical expertise and a patient-first nursing philosophy. I am an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse with specialized graduate-level training in mental health. I provide the same core services as a psychiatrist—including assessment, diagnosis, and medication management—but with a deep focus on supportive therapy and your overall well-being.
Telehealth allows us to meet in a space where you feel most secure. To join our virtual visit, you’ll just need:
- A smartphone, tablet, or computer with a working camera and microphone.
- A stable internet connection.
- A quiet, private space with good lighting so we can communicate clearly.
If you are experiencing a crisis or there is a threat of harm, please call 911 immediately.
- In the Texas Panhandle: Contact the Texas Panhandle Centers Crisis Line at (800) 692-4039.
- In Kansas: Call or text the 988 Lifeline for 24/7 support.

- Request via the Portal: Please submit all refill requests through your Patient Portal on Simple Practice. Do not have your pharmacy send the request, as their systems often transmit incorrect information.
- Plan Ahead: Please allow two business days for refills to be processed. I recommend requesting your refill when you still have 3 days of medication left.
- Controlled Substances: Texas law requires medical supervision for controlled medications. This means we must have an appointment every 90 days to continue your prescription.
- After Hours: Our office does not process refills after hours or on weekends.
- ADHD Medications: These are highly regulated. Running out does not constitute a medical emergency, and early refills are not permitted. If medication is stolen, a filed police report is required for a replacement.

If you are not using insurance, my rates are transparent so you can plan accordingly:
- Initial Evaluation (90 min): $350
- Routine Follow-up (30 min): $170
- Extended Follow-up (45 min): $225 (Note: Complex cases may require longer appointments.)
I work with a variety of providers to make care accessible, including:
- Aetna, Ambetter, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Curative, Optum, Sendero, Superior, UMR, United Healthcare
Under the law, you have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your medical care will cost before your appointment. This ensures there are no surprises on your bill. For more information, visit cms.gov/nosurprises.

Your appointment time is reserved exclusively for you. If you need to change or cancel your visit, please do so at least 24 hours in advance. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed appointments (no-shows), will be charged the full appointment fee.
