Do you have concerns your child may be on the autism spectrum? Is your child or teenager struggling with ADHD, anxiety or depression, mood changes or emotional or behavioral concerns? I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management for children, adolescents and young adults with particular expertise in ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, mood disorders and complex psychiatric presentations.
With extensive experience in both general and acute psychiatry as well as developmental pediatrics, I take the time to look beyond a diagnosis and understand the whole picture- including symptoms, medications, development, family dynamics and school functioning
I am a double board-certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience across the continuum of psychiatric care, including acute psychiatric emergencies, inpatient and outpatient psychiatry, geriatric mental health, intellectual and developmental disability services, and healthcare management. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and am currently completing my Doctorate, reflecting my ongoing commitment to clinical excellence, evidence-based practice, and lifelong learning.
Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals and families navigating a wide range of psychiatric conditions, from situational anxiety and depression to severe and persistent mental illness. My clinical experience includes extensive work with schizophrenia and psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma-related conditions, and mood instability across the lifespan. I am particularly experienced in caring for geriatric patients, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and patients with complex medication regimens requiring careful evaluation, simplification, and long-term stabilization.
I also work closely with college-aged patients and adults who are navigating academic pressure, career transitions, family dynamics, identity development, and the cumulative stressors that can emerge during periods of high responsibility or change. Many of my patients are high-functioning individuals who appear “put together” on the outside but struggle internally with anxiety, rumination, intrusive thoughts, emotional dysregulation, or burnout. Others are managing chronic psychiatric illness while striving to maintain independence, relationships, and quality of life.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings across Arizona. I’ve worked closely with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, and more complex mental health challenges. My background includes crisis work, outpatient care, and medication management, allowing me to meet you in both difficult seasons and times of growth. I’m passionate about providing supportive, evidence-based care that meets you where you are.
As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I use holistic, person-centered care to diagnose, prescribe medications, and provide therapy in a practical and evidence-based way. I enjoy working with adults, adolescents, and children who have been holding a lot together while feeling overwhelmed, lonely, anxious, or shut down on the inside. My specialized areas include trauma and trauma-related disorders, including personality and dissociative disorders, as well as autism, ADHD, and bipolar disorders. I enjoy helping others to reach their fullest potential and best life possible. So contact me if you're ready to feel steady, empowered, sleep better, think clearly, and stop reacting in survival mode so you can show up for work, relationships, and yourself.

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 Arizona
Searching for psychiatrists in Arizona starts with understanding the type of care that fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with a prescriber as part of your care. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care approach to see whether they match what you are looking for.
Across Arizona, the right fit may look different depending on where you live. People in Phoenix, Tucson, and Flagstaff may have different choices for in-person psychiatry, while virtual appointments can make it easier to find a psychiatrist who fits your schedule. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios can help you understand how a psychiatrist communicates, what conditions they focus on, and what to expect before you book.
Psychiatric care in Arizona can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get a clearer estimate before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists and psychiatric prescribers who are accepting new patients with your plan, check your benefits, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can check what coverage is available in Arizona on Headway before booking.
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.
