What types of patients do you work with?

I specialize in high-functioning adults who struggle with ADHD symptoms, despite their best efforts to compensate. Many have been told they’re “doing fine,” discouraged from seeking a diagnosis, or have performed well in school—but still face challenges that affect their daily lives. My practice focuses on helping these individuals gain clarity, receive an accurate diagnosis, and develop a treatment plan that truly supports their needs.

Do you only treat ADHD?

While ADHD is my specialty, I also treat common co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. I take a comprehensive approach to care, especially because many symptoms overlap or influence one another.

Do you offer formal ADHD testing?

Yes. I provide thorough ADHD evaluations using evidence-based tools and structured interviews designed specifically for adult presentations of ADHD. My goal is to give you clarity—not just a quick diagnosis.

Can you prescribe medication?

Yes. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I can prescribe and manage stimulant and non-stimulant medications when clinically appropriate. We’ll work together to find the option that fits your needs and lifestyle.

Do you offer therapy or coaching?

I currently focus on diagnosis and medication management, and incorporate lifestyle strategies and ADHD-specific coaching into your care. However, I do not offer formal therapy sessions.

Do you take insurance?

No, I do not accept insurance, however, you can use your HSA/FSA card for payment. Your insurance can also be used at the pharmacy when you pick up your medication. I can provide a superbill if requested.

How much does it cost?

Initial ADHD evaluations are $295. Follow-up appointments are $195. There are no hidden fees.

How soon can I be seen?

I typically offer appointments within 1–2 weeks. You can schedule directly online and choose the time that works best for you.

Where are you located?

Kiwi is currently 100% virtual and serves patients across Arizona. All visits are conducted via secure telehealth, so you can access care from the comfort of your home—or wherever you are in the state. Kiwi will have a physical location for in-office appointments in the near future.

What is required before my first appointment?

Before your appointment can be confirmed, you must:

• ✅ Confirm that you will be physically located in Arizona at the time of the appointment

• ✅ Submit a valid, unexpired photo ID during intake

• ✅ Complete the full intake paperwork, which includes a clinical screening

If the screening shows that your needs are better suited for in‑person care, your appointment will be canceled and your payment refunded.

How often will I be seen?

This varies case by case. Patients starting new medications or with a recent diagnosis are usually seen more frequently—typically every month. Once stable, most patients are seen every three months. For those on medication, I do not extend care beyond three months between visits to ensure safety and compliance.

Will I need to do any lab work or drug testing?

In some cases, yes. If you’re prescribed certain medications—especially stimulants—you may be required to complete a urine drug screen. We follow all DEA regulations, including reviewing your prescription monitoring report (PMP) and identifying any red flag behaviors that could indicate misuse or diversion. I also specialize in addiction (although this treatment is not provided at Kiwi), and can recognize when treatment may be doing more harm than good. If that becomes a concern, I will address it with care, transparency, and clinical expertise.

Is it legal to prescribe controlled medications via telehealth?

Yes — but only temporarily under the current DEA and HHS extension rules. The COVID-era flexibilities that allow prescribing Schedule II–V controlled substances via telehealth without an initial in-person exam are valid through December 31, 2025. After that, unless federal policies change, in-person evaluations will be required by law before prescribing these medications. Kiwi plans to offer in-person appointments at that time, unless new regulations or permanent pathways are established.
