My path into psychiatry is both professional and personal. I moved to the U.S. alone at 17 while navigating complex PTSD and periods of misdiagnosis, which shaped how I understand mental health today. I began with a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Nankai University, then trained as a nurse and nurse practitioner at Charles R. Drew University and Purdue University.

Over the past 7 years, I’ve worked across medical and mental health settings, developing an approach that balances clinical precision with individualized care. I specialize in anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and complex PTSD, particularly for individuals who feel stuck or haven’t found relief in traditional treatment.

I’m licensed in California, Virginia, New York, Washington, and Oregon, and provide care via telehealth.

As a PMHNP-BC who specializes in autism, complex cases, OCD, personality disorders, PTSD/trauma, schizophrenia/psychosis disorders, and substance use, I've built my practice around understanding that every person's mental health journey is unique—especially when multiple conditions interact or when traditional approaches haven't worked.

I also provide comprehensive treatment for depression, anxiety, panic disorders, mood disorders, and bipolar disorder, always with an understanding that these conditions often overlap and influence each other in complex ways. What I want you to know is this: your experiences are valid, your struggles make sense in the context of your life, and there's no such thing as being "too much" for treatment.

Whether you're masking autistic traits, battling compulsive behaviors, managing intense emotions, processing trauma, questioning reality, or struggling with substances, I meet you exactly where you are without trying to force you into a predetermined mold. My approach combines evidence-based treatments with deep respect for your individual needs and experiences.

You deserve a provider who doesn't see complexity as a problem to solve, but as a roadmap to understanding how to best support your unique path to wellness.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • East Palo Alto, CA


Hi, I'm Evelyn! As a seasoned psychiatric nurse practitioner with over four years of experience, I'm passionate about helping children, teens, and adults navigate their mental health journeys with compassion and understanding.

I believe everyone deserves to feel heard and empowered in their healing process. Through my work with diverse populations—from children as young as six to adults with complex mental health challenges—I've learned the importance of meeting patients exactly where they are, without judgment and with genuine care.

I specialize in ADHD assessment, medication management, and coaching across all ages. Having witnessed how ADHD impacts every aspect of life, I take a comprehensive approach beyond medication. I help families understand ADHD systems, develop coping strategies, and create academic accommodations for success.

My experience includes managing complex psychiatric conditions and treatment-refractory illnesses requiring specialized medications like lithium and dual-antipsychotic treatments. I believe in holistic care, emphasizing how nutrition, physical activity, mindful practices, and sleep hygiene support mental wellness alongside medication.

What sets my practice apart is collaborative care. I work closely with patients and families to create individualized, achievable treatment goals. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, ADHD, or other conditions, I prioritize building therapeutic relationships where you feel safe sharing your experiences.

I maintain high standards with comprehensive malpractice insurance, current California licensure, and DEA certification. My approach includes medication monitoring and regular prescription checks for your safety.

My practice is built on the foundation that everyone deserves compassionate, personalized mental health care. I look forward to partnering with you to achieve the balance and peace you're seeking.

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 Therapist in Laguna Hills

Finding the right psychiatrist in Laguna Hills starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and monitor your response over time. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or another condition that may benefit from medication management, a psychiatrist may be the right fit. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also prescribe and manage medication and are another option available through Headway.

With many providers practicing across Orange County, narrowing your search can take time. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who specializes in a specific condition, offers virtual appointments, or is located near Laguna Hills. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you book.

Psychiatry in the Laguna Hills area can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
