I believe mental and physical health are deeply connected, which is why I take a whole-
person approach to psychiatric care. As a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I bring experience in both medical and
psychiatric care to understand the full picture behind what you’re experiencing. I provide
individualized care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar and other mood disorders,
PTSD and trauma-related conditions, OCD, panic disorder, insomnia, and other
psychiatric concerns. My medical background also allows me to consider how
hormones, thyroid function, medications, sleep, and other physical health factors may
contribute to changes in mood, anxiety, attention, and overall well-being. My goal is to
provide thoughtful, evidence-based treatment in a supportive, judgment-free
environment where you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your care.

Frequently asked questions
Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Yuma
Finding the right psychiatrist in Yuma starts with understanding what kind of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. Medication management can include evaluating symptoms, discussing care options, and tracking how your plan is working over time. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and training to see how closely they match what you want help with.
In a smaller city like Yuma, local psychiatric options may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still letting you search for someone licensed in Arizona. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also provide therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios for details on clinical focus, appointment format, scheduling flexibility, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Yuma can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your needs, may accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before you book, compare virtual and in-person options, review bios, 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.
