I am a dual board-certified Nurse Practitioner specializing in both Family Practice and Psychiatric Mental Health. With a foundation in whole-person, evidence-based care, I integrate medical management with psychotherapy and lifestyle interventions to support mental and physical wellness.

My background spans outpatient psychiatry, primary care, home health, and assisted living settings, allowing me to understand the unique needs of patients across all stages of life. I have extensive experience treating mood and anxiety disorders, trauma-related conditions, and chronic medical comorbidities that impact emotional well-being.

I believe in creating a collaborative, compassionate, and culturally sensitive environment where patients feel heard and empowered to take an active role in their care. My approach focuses on building balance—supporting both the mind and body—through medication management, therapy, and integrative care strategies.

I know how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying pain, uncertainty, or self-doubt.

I work with Gen Z and Millennial adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and more. Through integrative, culturally responsive care, I combine evidence-based psychiatry with holistic strategies to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered to create a life that aligns with your true self.

Happy patient looking away

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 Oceanside

Finding the right psychiatrist in Oceanside starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe and manage medication, and in some cases provide therapy. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or PTSD, a psychiatrist may be the right fit. Psychiatric nurse practitioners can also prescribe and manage medication and are another option available through Headway.

With many providers practicing across the Oceanside area and nearby cities like Carlsbad, Vista, and San Marcos, 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 available for in-person visits near you. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you book.

Psychiatry in Oceanside 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.
