Patient First Care: Reclaiming Your Treatment
Sunnyside Comprehensive Care operates outside of the traditional insurance network. This is a deliberate choice. Not to limit who I can work with, but to protect the quality and privacy of the care I provide.
When we remove insurance companies from the equation, the only relationship that matters is the one between you and me. We aren't answering to an algorithm or a third-party payer. We are answering only to your health and your goals.

Bespoke Botanicals is designed as an adjunctive, add-on tool to support your existing wellness plan. It is not a replacement for comprehensive mental health treatment, such as psychotherapy or evidence-based medication management. Our program is intended to complement your existing care, providing clinical oversight specifically for cannabis use within your broader psychiatric framework.
This program is not meant for everyone. Before acceptance each patient will undergo an in-depth clinical evaluation and will be expected to undergo GeneSight testing prior to treatment beginning.
The Bespoke Botanicals program moves beyond simple certification to provide a clinical partnership dedicated to safety, efficacy, and precision.
I am proud to be one of just five practitioners in Virginia certified by the Society of Cannabis Clinicians. This specialized training allows me to provide a higher level of oversight, helping patients navigate the complexities of cannabis therapy safely while actively coordinating with their broader mental health care plan.
This add on service is only available to VA residents. Proof of residency must be provided. **Only 5 new patients accepted each month.**

By operating as a private-pay practice, I am choosing to prioritize your experience over the requirements of insurance networks who ultimately do not care about your health. This model allows me to offer:
Why My Practice Model is Designed for You
Radical Transparency: You know exactly what you are paying for. There are no surprise bills from insurance companies, no claim denials, and no hidden in vs out-of-network confusion.
True Autonomy: We make decisions based on what you actually need, not what an insurance company is willing to cover. Your treatment plan is ours to create, refine, and change.
More Time: Without the pressure to see as many patients as possible per day, I have the space for thoughtful, unhurried, and comprehensive care. Visits are 30 minutes at the minimum.
Privacy: In an insurance-based model, your sensitive mental health information must be shared with third parties for billing and "medical necessity" reviews. With private pay, your clinical details remain strictly between us.
Direct, Human Access: You won’t find any chatbots, automated triage systems, or generic "help desk" replies here. When you reach out with a question, the response comes directly from me.
Ready to Begin?
If you are ready for a different kind of care—one that truly prioritizes your time, your privacy, and your path to feeling better—I invite you to schedule our first appointment together.
I’m accepting new patients. Current wait time: 1 week.
Service & Model FAQs
-
No. Sunnyside Comprehensive Care is a private pay practice, which means I do not work with insurance companies directly.
Being private pay allows me to carry a smaller caseload, meaning I am able to give you the time, attention, and care that you deserve. Additionally, you are able to maintain greater privacy and control of the treatment you receive.
-
At Sunnyside, it means high-touch care. It means I am a dedicated partner in your mental health journey. You aren't just getting 15 minutes of my time every few month. You are getting a clinician who understands your history, monitors your progress closely and is available to collaborate on your plan as your life changes. It’s about accessibility and depth, not luxury.
-
I completely understand that cost is a primary concern. When we look at private-pay care, it is common to focus solely on the upfront price. We often forget that the traditional healthcare revolving door—repeated co-pays for ineffective treatments, time off work to manage symptoms, and the ongoing, heavy toll of feeling "fine" but not thriving—is also a significant expense.
The private pay model is designed for people who are ready to stop the cycle of not getting better. You aren't just paying for an hour of time; you are investing in yourself and in a result-oriented partnership that prioritizes getting you back to yourself as efficiently as possible.
When you consider the long-term impact on your career, your education, and your quality of life, the question isn't just "What is the cost of care?" but rather, "What is the cost of another year spent suffering in silence?"
-
Cost should not prevent access to care. A limited number of sliding scale appointments are available. Payment plans may also be arranged for those who need additional flexibility. Please reach out to me for more information.
-
A card is kept in your secure, HIPAA-compliant medical record and is charged automatically the 1st of every calendar month. I accept all major types of cards and HSA/FSA payments.
-
The Foundation Tier is designed for patients who are already on a stable medication regimen and are looking for consistent, ongoing management.
The Integrative Tier is a better fit if you're new to psychiatric medication, have more complex needs, or want longer appointments, closer follow-up during early treatment, and access to additional services.
If you're not sure, we'll figure out the right fit during your new patient evaluation.

Under the law, as a healthcare provider, I will give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
This estimate is called a "Good Faith Estimate" and explains how much your services will cost. Here are a few key things you should know about your Good Faith Estimate:
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
You may ensure that I give you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 3 business days before your visit. You can also ask me for a Good Faith Estimate prior to scheduling.
If you receive a bill that is $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
It's recommended that you save a copy of your Good Faith Estimate for your records.
