Hi, I’m Kathryn, a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner providing virtual psychiatric evaluations and medication management to adolescents ages 13–17, adults, and older adults throughout Arizona. I work with anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, sleep concerns, trauma-related symptoms, PTSD, panic symptoms, and mood disorders.
Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I spent more than 14 years in nursing, including inpatient psychiatry, psychiatric crisis care, medical-surgical nursing, and neurology. I offer appointments on Tuesdays, Friday evenings, Saturdays, and Sundays, with early-morning, daytime, and evening availability. Same-day appointments may sometimes be available.
I provide compassionate, comprehensive mental health care tailored to teens and families navigating complex mental health challenges. As a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, OCD, mood disorders, and ADHD through integrative psychiatry and medication management.
I provide compassionate, confidential psychiatric care designed to help you feel supported and understood. Each treatment plan is personalized, using evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs and goals. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where we can work together to manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, mood changes, or sleep issues. Appointments are available virtually for your convenience.
Many people come to me feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, or simply “not like themselves.” Whether the root is mental health, hormones, or a mix of both, my goal is to help you understand what’s happening in your body and mind — and create a plan that actually helps you feel better.
I am a Family Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of experience treating complex chronic conditions, acute medical issues, and a wide range of mental health concerns. My background in the emergency room strengthened my ability to stay calm, think clearly, and support patients through some of their most difficult moments.
I am double board‐certified as an FNP‐BC and PMHNP‐BC, which allows me to integrate medical and psychiatric expertise. This means I look at the full picture — hormones, sleep, stress, mood, lifestyle, and physical health — to understand what’s driving your symptoms.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and evidence‐based. I take time to listen, explain things clearly, and work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your life. You deserve care that feels supportive, personalized, and focused on long‐term wellness.
If you’re ready to feel more balanced, focused, and in control again, I’m here to help you get there.
I am a dual board-certified nurse practitioner. I graduated with my Family NP at Grand Canyon University in 2018.I graduated with my post-graduate cert as a Psychiatric Mental Nurse Practitioner at Wilkes University in 2022.I am constantly looking forward to continue my education to better serve my patients and to ensure that I am up-to-date with the latest advances in the fields of medicine and psychiatry.You will be treated with holistic care that combines traditional and alternative medicine.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Flagstaff
Finding psychiatrists in Flagstaff starts with knowing which kind of mental health care fits what you’re looking for. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management may be part of care for concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a prescriber, and some work with both.
In a smaller city like Flagstaff, local psychiatry appointments may be more limited, so virtual care can expand the number of psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners available to you. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios can also help you understand each psychiatrist’s focus areas, communication style, and approach to care before you book.
Psychiatric care in Flagstaff can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who match your needs, accept your plan, and are ready to take new patients, so you can review profiles and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
