Hi! I am a board certified DNP-PMHNP-BC. I started my career in traditional health practices as a Fulbright Scholar in Sochi, Russia. I presented my research at the US Embassy in Moscow. Following the completion of my grant I attended New York University (NYU). From there I completed a residency at M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston, Texas. Following this I entered and completed my doctorate at USD University of San Diego, California with a focus on digital telehealth treatment for psychiatric care. I have a passion for working with the veteran population and those seeking care outside the box. I recently completed my facilitation for psychadelic assisted therapy and have an additional practice in Denver, Colorado. I enjoy yoga, swimming and all the water sports!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Arcata
Finding psychiatrists in Arcata starts with understanding what kind of mental health care you want to access. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can also diagnose, prescribe, and manage medication through their license. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work alongside a prescriber. If you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, background, and approach to medication management before booking.
In a smaller city like Arcata, local psychiatry appointment options may be more limited than in larger nearby areas, including Eureka and the broader Humboldt County region. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still keeping care connected to your schedule. Psychiatric care often follows a different cadence than therapy: medication management visits are usually shorter and less frequent, while some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare profiles, look for appointment times, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and bio details that explain how they communicate and structure care.
Psychiatric care in Arcata can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who take insurance, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly. You can enter your plan details, review psychiatrists who are accepting new patients with your coverage, and choose the person who matches your needs 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.
