I believe effective mental health care begins with trust, collaboration, and respect. My approach is empowering, compassionate, open-minded, and culturally sensitive. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where adolescents and adults feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their care. I combine a holistic, whole-person perspective with evidence-based psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy to create personalized treatment plans that promote lasting wellness.

This experience strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate, culturally responsive, and patient-centered care for people from diverse backgrounds.

In addition to my clinical practice, I am the author of several mental health publications that reflect my dedication to education, evidence-based practice, and improving patient outcomes. I currently provide comprehensive psychiatric care through Oasis Behavioral Health and Elevated Behavioral and Transitional Health.

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 Psychiatry Psychiatrist in Edmonds, WA

Finding psychiatrists in Edmonds starts with knowing what kind of mental health care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with people living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or related concerns. Some people start with a psychiatrist, some start with a therapist, and some work with both. As you compare options, look for specialties, care focus areas, and bio details that match what you want support with.

In a smaller city like Edmonds, local psychiatry appointments may be more limited than in larger nearby areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options while keeping care close to your schedule. Psychiatric care often includes shorter, less frequent medication management visits compared with therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Before booking, review each psychiatrist’s profile for availability, appointment format, areas of focus, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. These details can help you decide whether the psychiatrist’s approach and schedule fit your needs.

Psychiatric care in Edmonds 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 who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see estimated costs upfront. You can compare profiles, choose virtual or in-person appointments when available, 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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
