Hello! Thank you for checking out my profile. I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, who specializes in pediatric psychiatry. I have been serving the Tucson area for 6+ years. I graduated with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Clinical Psychology from Brigham Young University. I then went on to complete a Masters of Science degree in Nursing (MSN) from Yale University.
I have spent my time in Tucson working in community health. I am currently taking clients for depression, anxiety, bipolar, trauma, adjustment disorders and ADHD.
Hi, my name is Dan. I bring a deeply personal understanding to mental health care. Having witnessed family members and fellow veterans navigate their own struggles, I know firsthand how isolating and disorienting it can feel to need support. I approach every session with the patience, attentiveness, and genuine care I would offer someone I love — listening not just to your words, but to what you're truly trying to communicate. My commitment is to always be as honest with you as possible, because I believe real help requires real honesty. When I'm not working, I enjoy reading and spending time outdoors.
With over 36 years in behavioral health, I've worked across inpatient, outpatient, corrections, education, and management settings — with children, adolescents, adults, and individuals navigating substance use and serious mental illness. But what drives me isn't my resume; it's this: mental illness is a bully, and no one deserves to be bullied. Nobody asked for it, and there is real courage in asking for help. I want to be a rock upon which mental illness breaks — helping people feel heard, seen, and able to enjoy life again. When I'm not working, you'll find me hiking, backpacking, or spending time with my dogs.
I am currently accepting patients and next day appointments are available. I provide evidence-based psychiatric medication management for ADHD, anxiety, depression, and related concerns for adults, adolescents, and children (age 6+). Many of my patients are students, professionals, and parents seeking practical solutions that improve concentration, mood, and daily functioning. My approach is collaborative, structured, and goal-oriented. I also provide objective psychological testing (Pearson) for ADHD, mood, autism, and personality concerns including Connors, Brown, BASC, ASRS, Vineland, and Millon.
With over 12 years of psychiatric experience across inpatient and outpatient settings, I aim to provide care that is both clinically thorough and practical for real life. My goal is to help you experience meaningful symptom improvement, better daily functioning, and greater confidence in managing your mental health.

I’m a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Camelback Integrated Health & Wellness in Phoenix, Arizona. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and substance use disorders

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Peoria
Finding the right psychiatrist in Peoria starts with knowing what type of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and support for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Both can be helpful entry points depending on what you’re looking for, so it helps to review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, clinical background, and approach before booking.
In a mid-size city like Peoria, your search may include local offices as well as virtual appointments across Arizona. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so scheduling, availability, and appointment format can make a meaningful difference. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people choose to work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading psychiatrist bios can help you understand session structure, areas of focus, and whether they offer the kind of care you want.
Psychiatric care in Peoria 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 cost before you book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your preferences, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients, so you can review profiles, compare appointment options, 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.
