Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Who I Am: In my nursing career of over 25 years I have undergone extensive training in the specialized fields of neurology and psychiatry, which eventually led me to my true passion of becoming a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). Throughout my career, I’ve been deeply interested in the brain and its complexity. My path into mental health was shaped by a lifetime of witnessing the impact of mental illness on those around me. Helping others grow, improve their well-being, and experience a better quality of life has always been a central passion of mine, and it continues to guide the work I do today.

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 Therapist in San Diego

Finding the right psychiatrist in San Diego starts with understanding what kind of care you’re looking for. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can also prescribe and manage medication. 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, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and background to see whether their training matches your needs.

San Diego has many psychiatry options across neighborhoods like Hillcrest, Mission Hills, Ocean Beach, North Park, and La Jolla, which can make it harder to narrow the list. Consider practical fit alongside clinical fit. Some psychiatrists offer in-person appointments, while others offer virtual visits that may work better with your schedule or commute. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also provide therapy. Reading profiles can help you understand appointment style, areas of focus, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Psychiatric care in San Diego can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who match your preferences, may accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can compare profiles, check estimated costs, 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.
