I accept insurance.

Deprescribing and tapering-focused psychiatry is usually only available through cash-pay or concierge practices. I offer it while accepting insurance. This makes care far more accessible while preserving my ability to focus completely on your unique needs.

For self-pay rates, see pricing below.

My approach to diagnosis:

I don't center my practice around DSM labels. While insurance billing requires diagnostic codes, I view these as necessary administrative tools in an imperfect system rather than fixed biological diseases or definitions of who you are. We'll discuss any codes together, focusing on what truly reflects your experience and supports your healing - not what fits you into a predetermined box.

Transparency about coverage

I'm committed to transparency about costs. If I'm recommending a service or approach that I think may not be covered by your insurance plan, I'll let you know upfront so you can make an informed decision about your care.

Please note that while psychiatric visits are all typically covered by insurance, compounded liquid medications for tapering and supplements are usually not covered. Compounded medications typically range from $50-150/month depending on the medication, which is significantly less than many specialized tapering programs while still providing precise, customized dosing. For supplements, I offer professional-grade options through Fullscript at a discount and can always recommend lower-cost alternatives.

What I Offer

At RiverStep Health, I provide comprehensive, personalized psychiatric care that goes beyond symptom control. Every service is grounded in collaboration, transparency, and deep respect for your story and your body’s unique needs.

Safe Psychiatric Medication Tapering

Many of my patients come to me feeling stuck on multiple medications—or fearful about trying to stop without help. My tapering plans are:

  • Hyper-personalized – no one-size-fits-all protocols

  • Gradual & safe – using tiny, strategic reductions based on your response

  • Holistically supported – with counseling, nervous system care, and natural alternatives when appropriate

  • Collaborative – you’ll always know what’s happening and why

This is about more than just getting off medication. It’s about finding freedom, clarity, and confidence on the other side.

Natural Alternatives Exploration

Symptoms like brain fog, emotional numbing, detachment, or overwhelm can be nervous system adaptations to a variety of causes (e.g., substance or pharmaceutical reactions, disease, chronic stress).

Not everyone wants medication. And even for those who have used it for a crisis, it shouldn’t be the only tool.

I help you explore options like:

  • Targeted supplements and nutritional strategies

  • Techniques to support mood regulation

  • Lifestyle interventions and habit shifts

  • Nervous system tools for anxiety, dissociation, or overwhelm

    We create a roadmap that aligns with the right values and your biology.

Complex Psychiatric-Medical Cases

Many of my patients have already seen multiple doctors, have been on multiple meds, and still feel unwell.

I specialize in polypharmacy cases (on 3+ psychiatric medications), and those with overlapping physical and mental health concerns. I help make sense of:

  • Drug interactions and withdrawal risks

  • Medical-psychiatric crossovers (e.g., autoimmune, gastrointestinal, endocrine, and neurological conditions)

  • Safe sequencing of medication tapers

  • Developing whole-person care plans

  • Collaborative care with your other specialist doctors

If you’ve been told “it’s all in your head”—you deserve better.
