use phone number for messages on mac

Okay so in settings on my mac I have verified my iPhone number as an apple ID, yet when I go to messages and preferences to add the number as one of the options where I can be reached at, it isn't there. I just want to use my phone number to send and receive messages on my mac.

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15
