Functional medicine and integrative
primary care in Connecticut

I'm licensed in Connecticut, which means I can be your actual primary care provider from anywhere in the state — not a second opinion you take back to someone else.

Licensure

A Connecticut provider, not an out-of-state consultant

A lot of what gets marketed to Connecticut patients as "virtual functional medicine" is a coaching relationship or a one-off lab interpretation from someone who can't actually treat you. I hold an active Connecticut APRN license, so the relationship is a real clinical one.

That means I can order and interpret your laboratory work, diagnose and manage conditions, prescribe and adjust medication, make referrals into your local system, and stay your provider over years rather than a single consultation.

Practicalities

How care actually runs from Connecticut

01

Visits

Secure video from wherever you are in the state. Visits run as long as they need to — a first functional medicine visit is typically an hour, and a primary care visit is unhurried by design.

02

Laboratory work

I send the order to a draw site near you, you go when it suits you, and results come back to me. We then go through them together rather than you reading a number in a portal. Advanced functional panels are mailed to your home as kits where the test allows.

03

Prescriptions

Sent electronically to your usual Connecticut pharmacy. If something is better handled by a compounding pharmacy, I'll tell you why and where.

04

Between visits

Secure portal messaging, so a new symptom or a question about a result doesn't have to wait for the next appointment.

Being Straight With You

What telehealth can't do

Most of integrative primary care translates well to video. Some of it doesn't, and you should know which parts before you decide.

Hands-on examination

Anything needing me to physically examine you — a breast or pelvic exam, listening to your chest, palpating an abdomen, examining a joint or a skin lesion closely.

Procedures and imaging

Vaccinations, injections, biopsies, Pap smears, X-ray, ultrasound, and anything else performed on site.

Urgent and emergency care

Anything acute enough to need same-hour hands-on assessment belongs at an urgent care or emergency department, not on a video call.

Some medications

Certain prescriptions carry requirements that telehealth alone can't satisfy. I'll tell you plainly when something falls into that category rather than leaving you to find out at the pharmacy counter.

What I do about it. I coordinate. If you need an exam, imaging, or a procedure, I'll tell you what to ask for, send the order, and read the results with you afterward. Several of my Connecticut patients keep a local practice for hands-on care and work with me for everything else — that arrangement works well, and I'm glad to help you set it up.
Connecticut Only

Medical marijuana certification

Connecticut's Medical Marijuana Program recognizes a broad set of qualifying conditions, and certification is something I can do entirely by telehealth as a Connecticut-licensed APRN. Connecticut charges no state registration fee, so the visit fee is your only cost to me.

I treat certification as a medical evaluation rather than a formality. We go through your condition, what you've already tried, and whether cannabis is a sensible addition — and if I don't think it is, I'll say so.

Common Questions

Connecticut, answered

Do I have to live near Hartford or New Haven?

No. Telehealth covers the entire state — Fairfield County, the shoreline, the Quiet Corner, the Litchfield Hills. What matters is that you're physically in Connecticut at the time of your visit, not how far you are from a city.

Can you be my actual primary care provider, or just a consultant?

Your actual provider. I hold an active Connecticut APRN license, so I can diagnose, prescribe, order laboratory work, and refer — the full scope, with the exception of anything needing hands-on examination.

Where do I get blood work drawn?

At a draw site near you. I send the order, you go when it's convenient, and the results come back to me. Advanced functional panels are often mailed to your home as collection kits instead.

What if I'm travelling or split time between states?

I'm licensed in both Colorado and Connecticut, so if you divide your year between them, nothing changes. Tell me where you are at the time of the visit. If you're in a state where I'm not licensed, we'll reschedule.

Do you take Connecticut insurance plans?

Insurance is accepted for eligible primary care visits. Functional medicine programs are self-pay. Accepted plans and how it all works are on my Payment & Insurance page.

Is there a Connecticut office?

No — Connecticut care is telehealth only. My office is in Denver, and I see Connecticut patients entirely by secure video.

Fifteen minutes to find out
if this fits

Tell me what's going on and what you've already tried. I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right provider for it — including if the answer is that you'd be better served locally.
