I know how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying pain, uncertainty, or self-doubt. But I believe, as a wise old wizard once said, “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of places, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” My role is to help you find that light again. I work with Gen Z and Millennial adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and more. Through integrative, culturally responsive care, I combine evidence-based psychiatry with holistic strategies to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered to create a life that aligns with your true self.
Mental health and physical health impact each other profoundly. I have a keen understanding of that with years of experience as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a Family Nurse Practitioner at the same time. I specialize in depressive, mood, anxiety disorders, and ADHD. I am fascinated with integrative medicine and oriental philosophy and their utility in current evidence-based psychotherapy.

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 Psychiatrist in Calabasas, CA
Finding the right psychiatrist in Calabasas starts with understanding what kind of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Psychiatric nurse practitioners can also provide this type of care. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a prescriber may be a fit. Therapists are another valid starting point for talk therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber.
Calabasas has fewer local psychiatry offices than larger cities nearby, so virtual appointments can expand your options while keeping care within reach. As you compare psychiatrists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Reading each psychiatrist’s bio can help you understand their specialties, communication style, and what a first appointment may include before you book.
Psychiatric care in Calabasas 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 care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, may accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs upfront, review psychiatrist 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.
