I earned my DNP from Azusa Pacific University and graduated from CSUSB MSN program. I have been a faculty at CSUSB since 2014. Extensively trained and a certified Trauma-Informed specialist.

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 Menifee
Finding the right psychiatrist in Menifee starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and in some cases provide talk therapy. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also prescribe and manage medication and are another option available on Headway. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or PTSD, a psychiatrist or PMHNP may be a good fit.
Menifee is a growing city in Riverside County, and in-person psychiatric availability can be limited. Many providers serving the Sun City, Paloma Valley, and Menifee Lakes areas offer virtual appointments, which can make it easier to find someone who matches your needs and schedule. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach, specialties, and what to expect before you book.
Psychiatry sessions in Menifee 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 100+ insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
