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!
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Chico, CA
Finding psychiatrists in Chico starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. Medication management often includes a review of symptoms, current concerns, health history, and response to prescribed care over time. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and training to see whether their experience matches what you want to address.
In a smaller city like Chico, the number of local psychiatry offices may be limited, so virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby neighborhoods like Downtown, Northgate, and South Campus. Psychiatry appointments, especially medication management visits, are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look at appointment times, whether a psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and what their bio says about communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Psychiatric care in Chico can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway makes that process easier by letting you enter your insurance details, see estimated costs upfront, and browse psychiatrists who take your plan and are accepting new patients. You can review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you are 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.
