Congratulations for taking this step toward improving your health! I've worked with Native Americans, Veterans, seniors, new moms, elderly folks, teens and adults. I work with creative people because I understand and respect your uniqueness. I have been a PMHNP for 15 years, and an RN for many more. I earned a BA from CUNY, a BS from NYU, and an MS in Nursing specializing in psychiatry, from SLU. I am a safe and experienced prescriber of medication, and will find the right fit for you.
Welcome to my practice! I'm a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in diagnosing and treating a range of psychiatric disorders, including anxiety, depression, dementia, substance abuse disorders, and more. With a holistic approach, I aim to blend psychiatric and primary care to enhance your physical and mental well-being. My primary goal is to empower you to manage your chronic conditions effectively.
I believe mental health treatment works best as a collaborative partnership. I take time to understand each client's unique experiences, symptoms, strengths, and goals before developing an individualized treatment plan. Treatment may include medication management, psychoeducation, lifestyle recommendations, and referrals for therapy or additional services when appropriate.
You deserve care that is thoughtful, evidence-based, and deeply personalized.
My approach is collaborative and holistic. I look beyond symptoms to understand the full picture of your life - including stressors, relationships, medical history, lifestyle, and personal goals. Whether you are seeking medication management, diagnostic clarity, or a more integrative approach to healing, we will create a plan tailored specifically to you.
Clients often describe my style as compassionate, thorough, and grounded. I believe in clear communication, shared decision-making, and ensuring you feel informed and empowered about your treatment options. My goal is not simply symptom reduction - it is helping you restore balance, confidence, and a meaningful quality of life.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin, you do not have to navigate it alone. Together, we will build a path toward emotional stability, mental clarity, and overall wellness.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Surprise, AZ
Finding psychiatrists in Surprise starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of care. Therapists provide talk therapy and support, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and bio to see whether their training matches what you want support with.
In a smaller city like Surprise, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger metro 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, while some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios can help you understand communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect before booking.
Psychiatric care in Surprise can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, are accepting new patients, and take your plan, so you can review profiles, compare availability, 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.
