Welcome! I’m honored you’re considering care. I’m a doctorally prepared Nurse Practitioner with dual board certification in Adult-Gerontology Acute Care and Primary Mental Health. As a former first responder, I bring firsthand understanding of the unique stressors faced by those in high-intensity roles. I take a trauma-informed, person-centered approach to care. I specialize in working with individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes, including first responders and members of the LGBTQ+ community. My goal is to create a safe, affirming space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to take steps toward healing.
Completed my adult psychiatry residency at Duke University Medical Center and recognize the importance of synergistic effects of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy to achieve best clinical outcomes. Beyond Medical school and Psychiatric residency, I completed an additional Ph.D. in Neurosciences, fostering a deeper understanding of the field of Psychiatry and psychotropic treatment options. I have additional knowledge and experience in adjunct treatments including TMS and Ketamine.
I'm Astrid, a dedicated nurse practitioner with over 17 years of healthcare experience, including over 6 years in mental health, presently welcoming clients in FLORIDA and COLORADO.
I believe everyone deserves care that respects their entire being and honors the uniqueness of their life story.
My mission is to create a supportive and healing environment where mental health is approached holistically in a safe and judgment-free environment.
I am deeply committed to supporting individuals, especially women across the lifespan, from puberty and postpartum to perimenopause and beyond, as they navigate challenges, reclaim their power, and thrive.
I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a background that spans mental health, geriatrics, home health, intensive care, and long-term rehabilitation. My personality is open, honest, and direct—I believe transparency builds trust. With over a decade of hands-on nursing experience and recent advanced training in psychopharmacology and CBT, I bring both empathy and expertise to our work together. My clients can count on clear communication, collaborative care, and a deep commitment to helping them thrive.
I chose to become a psychiatric provider because I am inherently compassionate, and I enjoy talking to people about what's really going on with them, not just what they portray in public. This is always such an honor. I myself am always learning from my patients and their journeys. I love that there's always room for growth and it's never the same.











Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right psychiatrist in Commerce City starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also evaluate, diagnose, and manage medication. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or another mental health concern, a qualified provider can help you understand your care options and determine an appropriate approach.
Commerce City is part of the broader Denver metro area, which means you may have access to providers in nearby communities like Thornton, Northglenn, and Denver — especially if you're open to virtual appointments. When comparing providers, consider their specialty areas, whether they offer virtual sessions, and how their approach aligns with your goals. Reading a provider's bio can help you decide if they're a good match before you book.
Psychiatry sessions can be expensive without insurance coverage. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and your out-of-pocket cost may be as low as $0 per session, though costs vary based on your location and exact coverage.
