Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


Many people come to me feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, or simply “not like themselves.” Whether the root is mental health, hormones, or a mix of both, my goal is to help you understand what’s happening in your body and mind — and create a plan that actually helps you feel better.

I am a Family Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of experience treating complex chronic conditions, acute medical issues, and a wide range of mental health concerns. My background in the emergency room strengthened my ability to stay calm, think clearly, and support patients through some of their most difficult moments.

I am double board‐certified as an FNP‐BC and PMHNP‐BC, which allows me to integrate medical and psychiatric expertise. This means I look at the full picture — hormones, sleep, stress, mood, lifestyle, and physical health — to understand what’s driving your symptoms.

My approach is compassionate, practical, and evidence‐based. I take time to listen, explain things clearly, and work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your life. You deserve care that feels supportive, personalized, and focused on long‐term wellness.

If you’re ready to feel more balanced, focused, and in control again, I’m here to help you get there.

For the past year, I've worked with adults facing serious mental health challenges at one of Los Angeles's largest public health systems, and what I've learned is that lasting change comes from relationships built on trust. Now I'm bringing that experience into private practice, where I can focus on what matters most: your individual progress. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and I offer flexible evening and weekend availability via telehealth throughout California. As a PMHNP, I'm here to support your whole mental health journey.

Happy patient looking away

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 Downey, CA

Finding the right psychiatrist in Downey starts with understanding the kind of mental health care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions, prescribe medication, and support medication management. Therapists provide talk therapy and support through ongoing sessions. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, either type of specialist may be part of your care, depending on your needs. Review each psychiatrist’s profile for listed specialties, clinical focus, and whether they offer medication management, therapy, or both.

Downey is a smaller city within the greater Los Angeles area, so local in-person psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger nearby markets. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you choose a psychiatrist licensed in California. Psychiatric 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. Provider bios can also show how a psychiatrist explains their approach, session structure, and experience with concerns like yours.

Psychiatric care in Downey 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 booking. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and are ready to take new patients. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs upfront, compare profiles, 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.
