Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Washington


Are you the person who keeps it all together but you're exhausted doing it? I specialize in substance abuse, anxiety, burnout, and depression. Many of my patients spent decades being told they were fine, just anxious, just disorganized, just needed to try harder. They weren't. They needed the right evaluation and the right support.

I offer telehealth psychiatric care across Washington State. Most patients are seen within 1–2 weeks. I accept Cigna, Aetna, Quest Behavioral Health, and Carolina plans.

If you're ready to stop managing symptoms alone and start actually understanding your brain, I'd love to work with you.
