As a dually certified provider, I offer a unique blend of clinical precision and compassionate, holistic care for both the body and soul. My journey began in 1995 as a nurse, followed by earning my medical degree in 2002 and completing a residency in General Pathology in Postgraduate Education Academy, Kharkov, Ukraine, which provided me with a profound understanding of the biological foundations of health. In 2006, I met my future husband and moved to the United States.
In the United States, I advanced my nursing career, working as a Registered Nurse and becoming a Family Practice Nurse Practitioner (FNP) in 2019. During this time, I managed complex primary care and detoxification protocols for adults and adolescents in behavioral health inpatient settings. In 2024, I achieved my Doctorate in Nursing Practice (DNP) and certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP).

I began my work in psychiatric care as a registered nurse treating patients in various hospital settings who were experiencing a mental health crisis. For a more rewarding 1-on-1 approach, I returned to grad school and earned a Masters, and chose to become certified as a Psychiatric NP. I am honored and fortunate to have the opportunity to manage medications for kids and adults with ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar, Panic, Sleep problems, and other ailments from a place of encouragement and respect and based on an ever growing library of peer reviewed scientific literature and medical treatment guidelines.

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 Therapist in Bellingham
Finding psychiatrists in Bellingham starts with understanding the type of mental health care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and help manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with people living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma, or bipolar disorder. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a psychiatrist, and some work with both. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, clinical focus, and care approach match what you want support with.
In a smaller city like Bellingham, local psychiatry appointments may be more limited, so virtual care can expand your options across Washington. In-person care may matter if you prefer an office setting near Fairhaven, Downtown, Cornwall Park, or nearby areas. Virtual appointments may fit better if your schedule changes week to week or you want more choice beyond nearby offices. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Read bios before booking to understand each psychiatrist’s focus, appointment style, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Bellingham can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, take your insurance, and offer in-person or virtual appointments. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs, compare 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.
