Welcome! I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides compassionate, patient-centered care. My practice focuses on adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, mood disorders, and emotional challenges.

I believe in listening first and understanding your unique story before anything else. My goal is to create a space where you feel truly heard and understood, so we can build a personalized treatment plan that supports your healing and lasting well-being. Outside of my practice, I enjoy family time and traveling.

Each treatment plan is personalized, using evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs and goals. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where we can work together to manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, mood changes, or sleep issues. Appointments are available virtually for your convenience.
I am a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, holding a doctorate from Johns Hopkins University. My practice philosophy is rooted in the belief that optimal health requires attention to both physical and mental well-being.
With advanced training and dual board certification, I am uniquely positioned to address the complex interplay between medical and psychiatric conditions. I have extensive experience supporting individuals with mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and personality disorders—including borderline personality disorder (BPD)—as well as those managing chronic medical illnesses. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in the latest clinical evidence.

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 Bellevue
Finding the right psychiatrist in Bellevue starts with understanding which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. If you are looking for support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a prescriber may be a useful place to start. You can also look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, background, and approach match what you want to discuss in care.
Bellevue has mental health care options across neighborhoods like Downtown, Factoria, and Crossroads, though local psychiatry availability can vary by schedule and office location. Virtual appointments can expand your options, especially if you want to compare psychiatrists in Washington beyond the offices closest to you. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber, so it helps to read bios for details on appointment style, specialties, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Bellevue can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and see your estimated session cost before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients and match your insurance, preferences, and schedule. You can browse profiles, 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.
