I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 16 years of experience in healthcare. I began my career practicing in a rural community, where I quickly saw how limited access to mental health care affected individuals and families.

Throughout my career, I found myself increasingly drawn to the mental health needs of my patients. I wanted the opportunity to do more, build relationships, and help create change. This passion led me to pursue certification in psychiatric mental health.

My background in both family medicine and psychiatry allows me to approach mental health from a whole-person perspective, recognizing the importance of the relationship between physical and emotional well-being.

My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck - whether from the pressures of work, family, trauma, or life transitions. They may be experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, or the lingering effects of trauma. Many are high functioning professionals, first responders, healthcare workers, or veterans who've spent years putting others first and are now realizing their own mental health needs attention. They're seeking a provider who listens, validates, and offers practical, stigma-free care to ease symptoms, improve focus and sleep, and regain balance with a collaborative, holistic plan.

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 Missouri

Finding psychiatrists in Missouri starts with knowing which type of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health 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, OCD, or schizophrenia. Across Missouri, available options may vary between larger areas and more rural communities, so it helps to look for a psychiatrist whose listed training, specialties, and experience match what you want support with.

Practical fit matters, too. If you live near St. Louis, Kansas City, or Springfield, you may have more in-person options than someone searching in a smaller town. Virtual appointments can expand your choices across Missouri and may fit better if travel or scheduling is a factor. Psychiatric medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, review each psychiatrist’s bio for availability, appointment format, areas of focus, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Psychiatric care in Missouri can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see an estimate before you book. Headway helps you search for Missouri psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, add your insurance details, and check which psychiatrists match your plan. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and your coverage can be confirmed based on your location and plan details, so you can review bios 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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
