I am your partner in whole-person healing, and I am now accepting new patients. With nearly two decades of diverse nursing experience, my background spans psychiatry, oncology, palliative care, intensive care, hospice, and home health. This journey has given me a deep understanding of both physical and emotional health challenges.
I am known for building genuine connections with patients across all age groups. My approach is rooted in the belief that mental health is inseparable from physical well-being. I often view mental health symptoms not as disorders, but as signals of deeper imbalances—and I treat them with compassion and curiosity.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Nevada
Searching for psychiatrists in Nevada starts with knowing whether psychiatric care matches what you need. 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, or OCD. Across Nevada, the right fit may vary between urban and rural areas, so look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, experience, and approach match the kind of support you want.
Your options may look different in Las Vegas, Reno, Carson City, and other parts of the state. Some people prefer in-person visits, while others choose virtual appointments because they fit more easily into work, school, or family schedules. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. You may also choose to 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 Nevada 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 your first appointment. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients and match your insurance plan, with national partnerships across over 100 insurance plans. You can compare profiles, see estimated costs after entering your insurance details, 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.
