Mental health care shouldn't feel rushed, intimidating, or like you're checking boxes. I believe the best outcomes happen when patients feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and actively participating in their care. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide personalized, evidence-based treatment while remembering that you're much more than a diagnosis. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) licensed in WA, NY, NM, and AZ. With 18 years of dedicated experience in psychiatry, I bring a unique, deeply grounded perspective to your care. I’ve spent nearly two decades sitting with clients, listening to their stories, and watching what treatments truly work in real life.
I hold a doctoral degree from a progressive Jesuit school as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Prior, I spent over 10 years in one-on-one home healthcare, studied psychology before nursing, and obtained an EMT certification, with a side interest in Fire and Rescue EMS.
In the past, I considered everything from becoming a veterinarian, an acupuncturist, a wildlife biologist, a gypsy with a fishing boat, a journalist, an underwater welder, an astronomer, an anthropologist, and yes, going to medical school. The nursing field, however, is beautifully versatile, and ended up being on point and on time. I'd like to think I weave into my perspective and practice, threads of all of those other fields.
Exploring the internal world is just an integral part of my life. By now, I'm cozy with cross-cultural/philosophical and belief perspectives surrounding existence, growth, difficult symptoms, and medicines. I've worked with myself - no doubt, but personally and professionally, with a lot of other people for whom it's all been front and center.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Kent, WA
Finding psychiatrists in Kent starts with knowing which type of mental health care matches your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy and behavioral support. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a prescriber may be part of your care. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a prescriber, and some work with both. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach to see whether their experience fits what you are looking for.
In a smaller city like Kent, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in nearby larger areas, so virtual appointments can expand the number of psychiatrists available to you. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading psychiatrist bios can help you understand communication style, session structure, and what to expect before you book.
Psychiatric care in Kent can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who take your insurance, are accepting new patients, and match your preferences for format, schedule, and clinical focus. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, browse psychiatrist profiles, and book directly 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.
