I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who provides compassionate, evidence-based care for adults. My approach is clinical, trauma-informed, and whole-person; I look beyond symptoms alone and consider the many parts of life that shape mental health. I believe care should feel collaborative, supportive, and not overwhelming. My goal is to help you feel understood while creating a treatment plan that fits your life, values, and goals. Whether you are seeking medication management, in-office IV or IM ketamine treatment, or support through a difficult season, I want you to feel safe, respected, and empowered.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Los Gatos
Finding psychiatrists in Los Gatos 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. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you on coping skills, patterns, relationships, and goals. If you’re seeking support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, reading each psychiatrist’s listed specialties can help you find someone whose training matches what you’re looking for.
Los Gatos is a smaller community, so local appointment options may be more limited than in nearby San Jose or the broader South Bay. Virtual psychiatry can expand your search while keeping access practical for your schedule. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, review each psychiatrist’s bio for appointment availability, session format, areas of focus, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Los Gatos 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 your visit. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, are accepting new patients, and match your preferences for location, availability, and virtual or in-person care. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs upfront, compare 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.
