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.
This provider believes in caring for the patient as a whole and works collaboratively with each individual to address their unique needs. An individualized treatment plan is developed for every patient to ensure the most appropriate and effective care.
With over 10 years of experience in behavioral health, I have had the opportunity to help clients from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of psychiatric challenges. My experience includes working in inpatient psychiatric hospitals as well as completing internships in outpatient settings, where I have cared for patients across different age groups.
I am dedicated to providing compassionate care and delivering safe and effective treatment to all my patients.

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 Psychiatrist 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.
