Understanding Your Issues:
I understand that every individual is unique, and your concerns are as individual as you are. Whether you're grappling with anxiety, depression.
As a special needs dad, a former Spanish teacher, former school counselor (MEdSC), and nurse (MSN), I bring a broad range of experiences to my clients. As a nurse, I have worked PACU, ER, and geriatrics. My goal is to work with the client to reach their goals through the use of counseling, supplements, and medication as needed. I enjoy using belief systems as part of my counseling if desired.
Like many providers, I have worked with many clients with depression, mania, and anxiety. As a previous teacher/school counselor, I understand the impact of ADHD on the student, the classroom, the teacher, and the family.
I think it is important for prospective clients to know that I want to help both now and in the future. For this reason, there are drugs that I don't prescribe (stimulants and benzos) because of the long-lasting side effects.
My hobbies include playing the piano, singing, gardening and family.

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 Austin, TX
Finding the right psychiatrist in Austin starts with knowing which type of mental health 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, or OCD. Some people start with a psychiatrist, some start with a therapist, and some work with both. As you compare Austin psych options, look for training, listed specialties, and care focus that match what you want help with.
Austin has many mental health options across neighborhoods like South Congress, Mueller, Zilker, and North Austin, which can make narrowing your search take more effort. In-person visits may work well if you want an office nearby, while virtual appointments can make scheduling easier around work, school, or commute time. Psychiatric care also often follows a different cadence than therapy. Medication management appointments are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Before booking, review each bio for appointment availability, communication style, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Austin 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 helps you search for psychiatrists in Austin who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare profiles, review specialties, and choose between virtual and in-person care, making it easier to find someone who matches your needs and accepts your plan.
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.
