I bring eight years of prior experience as an adult and pediatric emergency room nurse. My background in acute care has given me a strong foundation in crisis intervention, compassionate listening, and evidence-based clinical judgment.

I was born in Los Angeles, spent 15 years living in Hawaii, and now reside in Miami, Florida. My diverse life experiences — including traveling to 23 countries — have shaped my cultural awareness and deep respect for the unique perspectives of every individual I serve.

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 Jacksonville

Finding psychiatrists in Jacksonville starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage ongoing medication care. Therapists support care through talk therapy and related approaches. If you are looking for psychiatry in Jacksonville, Florida for concerns like anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and background to see whether their training matches your needs.

Jacksonville has many psychiatry options across areas like Riverside, Downtown, San Marco, Jacksonville Beach, and nearby neighborhoods, which can make the search more complex. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so scheduling, appointment format, and follow-up cadence matter. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare profiles, look for availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, virtual or in-person appointment options, and bio details that explain communication style and approach.

Psychiatric care in Jacksonville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your preferences, verify coverage, see estimated session costs upfront, and book directly when you are ready. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, making it easier to find someone who takes your plan and fits your schedule.

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.
