I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with adults and provides integrated mental health care that combines psychotherapy and medication management. My work is solution-oriented, empowering, and open-minded, with a focus on helping clients move beyond symptom management and toward meaningful, lasting change.
My style is warm, grounded, and direct. I value collaboration and curiosity, and I approach care as a partnership rather than something that is done to you. I aim to support clients while also encouraging them to take an active role in understanding their patterns, building resilience, and reclaiming their mental and emotional health.
I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner doctorally trained at the University of Utah, with eight years of mental healthcare experience including a year-long fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry.
I primarily work with children and teens, but also love meeting with young adults, parents, and fellow healthcare workers.
Outside of work, I love spending time in the mountains with my husband, son and very hyper dog.

I am a down-to-earth, supportive, nonjudgmental, and open-minded Board Certified Psychiatric NP. I began my work in psychiatric care as a registered nurse treating patients in various hospital settings who were experiencing a mental health crisis.

Frequently asked questions


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 Sandy
Finding psychiatrists in Sandy starts with understanding the type of care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and support medication management. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with a psychiatrist when medication support is part of care. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach before booking.
Sandy is a smaller local market, so nearby in-person psychiatry options may be more limited than in Salt Lake City or other larger areas. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still helping you find a psychiatrist who fits your schedule and care needs. Psychiatric medication management appointments 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 appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and how each psychiatrist describes their communication style.
Psychiatric care in Sandy 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 it easier to search for psychiatrists who accept your plan, see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, and book directly. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, so you can review bios, compare fit, and schedule when you are 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.
