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!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Oceanside, CA
Finding psychiatrists in Oceanside starts with understanding the kind of mental health care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may be a good fit for support with patterns, skills, and day-to-day concerns. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach to see how they match your needs.
Oceanside has in-person psychiatry options across areas like Downtown, Mission Avenue, and near the coast, while virtual appointments can give you more choice across California. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so availability, appointment format, and follow-up cadence can matter when choosing a psychiatrist. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how a psychiatrist communicates, what conditions they focus on, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Oceanside can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your preferences, verifies whether they are accepting new patients with your plan, and shows available appointment times so you can review profiles, compare fit, 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.
