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 am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) with years of experience caring for patients across the lifespan. My background in both primary care and psychiatry allows me to take a whole-person approach to mental health, recognizing the important connection between physical and emotional well-being.
I enjoy working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and other mental health concerns. I believe every person deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where we can work together to help you feel your best.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Phoenix
Finding psychiatrists in Phoenix starts with understanding the kind of care they provide. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you on concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or relationship stress. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a prescriber, and some work with both. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match the type of support you want.
Phoenix has a large mental health care market, with options across central Phoenix, Arcadia, Ahwatukee, and nearby areas like Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, and Chandler. That range can make the search more detailed, so it helps to narrow by appointment format, availability, and fit. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Virtual appointments may fit better with work, school, or commute needs, while in-person visits may be a better match if you prefer an office setting. Before booking, read each psychiatrist’s bio to understand their communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in sessions.
Psychiatric care in Phoenix 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 price before you book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, verify your insurance, compare virtual and in-person 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.
