I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) licensed in WA, NY, NM, and AZ.

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.

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 Spokane
Finding the right psychiatrist in Spokane starts with understanding what kind of mental health care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may support many of the same concerns through counseling. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach to see how they match your needs.
In a mid-sized market like Spokane, the right fit may depend on both clinical focus and practical details. You may prefer an office near Downtown, South Hill, Spokane Valley, or Browne’s Addition, while virtual appointments can add more options if location or scheduling is a factor. Psychiatric appointments for medication management 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. Before booking, read bios for details on appointment style, availability, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Spokane 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 an appointment. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients with your plan, see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, 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.
