I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner based in Kansas. I provide medication management and individual therapy.

Whether you're managing a long-standing condition or stepping into mental health care for the first time, I'll meet you where you are.

With a background in both psychiatry and intensive medical care, I understand how closely the mind and body are connected. My goal is to make care accessible and consistent, which is why I offer flexible scheduling and telehealth appointments.
In our first sessions, we’ll review your history, clarify your symptoms, and determine whether medication is appropriate. If it is, we’ll build a treatment plan that feels realistic, evidence-based, and aligned with your goals and overall health.
Outside of work, I find balance through yoga, comedy, time with my dog, and enjoying sunny days — reminders that healing comes from both steady progress and moments of joy.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Wichita
Finding psychiatrists in Wichita starts with understanding what kind of mental health care you’re looking for. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management may be part of care for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Some people start with a psychiatrist, some start with a therapist, and some work with both. Look for training, listed specialties, and experience that match your needs.
Wichita has mental health care options across areas like Delano, Riverside, College Hill, and nearby communities, with both in-person and virtual appointments available. Psychiatric care often follows a different schedule than therapy: medication management visits are usually shorter and less frequent than ongoing therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, while others focus on diagnosis and medication support. As you compare Wichita psychiatrists, review appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and what their profile says about their approach.
Psychiatry in Wichita 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 price before you book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners who match your needs, take your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can browse profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, 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.
