I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) with over 16 years of healthcare experience. I specialize in treating adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, insomnia, OCD, and treatment-resistant mood disorders. My advanced psychiatric training was completed through Monmouth University and Wilkes University, where I focused on Evidence-based psychiatric care.
I believe that effective treatment starts with understanding the whole person not just the diagnosis.

My approach combines thoughtful medication management with practical therapeutic strategies that you can apply in everyday life.
For individuals whose depression has not improved after trying multiple antidepressants, I also evaluate and provide treatment options such as Spravato (esketamine) when clinically appropriate. My focus is always on finding the safest, most effective treatment based on your unique needs.

I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your treatment decisions.

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 Mesquite
Finding the right psychiatrist in Mesquite, TX starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and in some cases provide talk therapy. If you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or medication management, a psychiatrist may be the right fit. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also prescribe and manage medication and are another option available through Headway.
Because Mesquite is part of the broader Dallas metro area, you may have access to providers practicing in nearby cities like Garland, Balch Springs, and Dallas — many of whom offer virtual sessions. Consider what matters most to you, whether that's a provider who specializes in a specific condition, offers virtual appointments, or practices close to your neighborhood. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you book.
Psychiatry sessions can be expensive without insurance, but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
