Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


If you’re looking for a psychiatric provider who will take the time to understand you, not just your symptoms or diagnosis, I’d be happy to work with you. I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of healthcare experience and a background in a variety of psychiatric settings, including outpatient psychiatry, higher-acuity inpatient psychiatric care, interventional psychiatry, correctional psychiatry, and private practice.

I provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management for adolescents and adults, with particular interests in ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and sleep concerns. I also have a strong interest in helping patients understand the factors that may be contributing to difficulties with attention, mood, motivation, and daily functioning.

I believe mental health care should feel collaborative, culturally sensitive, and individualized. My goal is for you to feel heard, respected, and comfortable asking questions throughout the process.
