I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner based in Kansas. I provide medication management and individual therapy. After years working in a busy community health setting, I made the move to private practice to allow for more patient centered time. I value delivering care that is patient centered which may include medication or therapy or both. Healing looks different for everyone, and I'm committed to building a plan that fits your life. 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.
If you’re feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, trauma, mood shifts, or ADHD symptoms and wondering whether medication could help, you’re not alone. I work with teens and adults navigating mood and anxiety disorders, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and stress-related challenges.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my mix of medical expertise and genuine compassion. 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.
I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a background that spans mental health, geriatrics, home health, intensive care, and long-term rehabilitation.

My clients can count on clear communication, collaborative care, and a deep commitment to helping them thrive.

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 Kansas
Searching for psychiatrists in Kansas starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Psychiatric nurse practitioners can also diagnose, prescribe, and manage medication. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be a helpful place to start. Across Kansas, options can vary between urban and rural areas, so review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, credentials, and approach before booking.
Practical fit matters, too. In Wichita, Overland Park, Topeka, and other parts of Kansas, you may want to compare in-person availability with virtual appointments that fit your schedule. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare profiles, look for details like appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and how each psychiatrist describes their communication style.
Psychiatric care in Kansas 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 care begins. Headway makes that process clearer by helping you find psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and take your plan. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book.
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.
