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!

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 Gardena
Finding the right psychiatrist in Gardena starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Psychiatric nurse practitioners may also diagnose conditions and prescribe medication through their license. Therapists provide talk therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management in Gardena, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, clinical focus, and bio before booking.
Gardena is a smaller local market, so nearby in-person psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger parts of Los Angeles County. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still letting you choose a psychiatrist who fits your schedule and needs. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. A profile can also show how they describe their approach, communication style, and experience with concerns like ADHD, anxiety, or depression.
Psychiatric care in Gardena 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 you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners who accept a wide range of insurance plans, many of whom are accepting new patients, and who match your preferences for virtual or in-person care. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, browse 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.
