Online psychiatrist in Iowa.

I see adults anywhere in Iowa by secure video, from Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Iowa City and Sioux City to the smallest towns. Every visit is with me, a board-certified psychiatrist, and you can use insurance through Alma or pay a flat rate.

Licensed in Iowa

I hold Iowa medical license MD-57446, issued by the Iowa Board of Medicine, and I’m board-certified in psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.

What I treat

Psychiatric evaluation, medication management and psychotherapy for adults 18 and older, including:

How video visits work in Iowa

You sign up online in about two minutes, and I get back to you within one business day with a scheduling link. Visits happen over secure video from your phone or computer. The first evaluation takes about an hour; follow-ups take about 30 minutes.

For each visit you must be physically located in Iowa or another state where I’m licensed. Prescriptions go electronically to the pharmacy you choose. I don’t prescribe controlled substances by telehealth, including stimulants, benzodiazepines, controlled sleep medications such as zolpidem, and buprenorphine.

Insurance and fees

I’m in network with several commercial plans through Alma, including Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare / Optum, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. Participating plans vary by state; Alma checks your coverage and tells you your cost before you’re seen. Self-pay is $525 for the first evaluation and $260 for a follow-up. See fees and insurance.
