I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who provides compassionate, evidence-based care for adults. My approach is clinical, trauma-informed, and whole-person, meaning I look beyond symptoms alone and consider the many parts of life that shape mental health. I believe care should feel collaborative and supportive, not overwhelming. My goal is to help you feel understood while creating a treatment plan that fits your life, values, and goals. Whether you are seeking medication management, in-office IV or IM ketamine treatment, or support through a difficult season, I want you to feel safe, respected, and empowered.

Whether I’m diagnosing, prescribing, or simply listening, my mission is to make every patient feel seen, heard, and cared for. I strive to turn sessions into moments of trust, learning, and hope."

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in San Diego, CA
Finding postpartum therapists in San Diego starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some people look for talk therapy for postpartum depression, while others want a therapist with perinatal training or experience supporting new parents. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties that match what you want to focus on. The PMH-C credential can also signal advanced training in perinatal mental health.
San Diego has a large mental health care market, which can make it harder to narrow your options across neighborhoods, schedules, and appointment formats. For new parents, logistics matter. Unpredictable schedules, infant care, and physical recovery can make virtual appointments a practical option, while in-person sessions may work well if you prefer an office near home, work, or transit. Before booking, read therapist bios to understand their approach, availability, session style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in San Diego can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket session costs. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show estimated costs before you book. You can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
