I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University and have been practicing as a PMHNP since 2019, with over a decade of nursing experience beginning in 2011. My educational foundation also includes a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Illinois in Springfield, which broadened my understanding of human behavior and community dynamics. My journey in mental health has taken me through diverse settings that have shaped my comprehensive approach to care. I've worked in psychiatric emergency services at a major hospital, 23-hour crisis stabilization units, outpatient clinics, correctional facilities, and forensic mental health centers, including fitness-to-stand-trial evaluations. This varied experience has equipped me to understand mental health from multiple perspectives and meet people wherever they are in their journey, whether they're facing an acute crisis or seeking ongoing support. I specialize in medication management for individuals across the lifespan—from children and adolescents to adults and older adults. My treatment areas include depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma-related conditions, psychotic disorders, and other mental health concerns. I'm experienced in both telehealth and in-person care, making quality psychiatric services accessible and convenient for your lifestyle. What drives me is the belief that everyone deserves competent, caring mental health support that honors their unique background and circumstances. I'm committed to improving the communities I serve, one individual and family at a time, through evidence-based practice combined with genuine human connection.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in San Jose
Finding addiction therapists in San Jose starts with looking for care that matches the concern you want support with. Addiction care can include support for substance use, alcohol use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some therapists list approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or care coordination with a prescriber. Reading a therapist’s specialties and training can help you find someone whose experience fits your needs.
Local addiction therapy options in San Jose may be more limited than in larger California markets, so virtual care can expand the number of therapists available to you. In-person care may work best if you prefer a local office, while virtual appointments can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, caregiving, or transportation needs. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach. A therapist’s bio can give you a clear sense of their communication style and whether they take a nonjudgmental, harm reduction-informed approach.
Addiction therapy in San Jose 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 you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, accepts a wide range of insurance plans nationally, and shows estimated out-of-pocket costs after your benefits are verified. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
