I am a PMHNP-BC, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care for adults and adolescents. I combine clinical expertise with a holistic, faith-informed approach, emphasizing collaboration, education, and individualized treatment planning.
I began my career as a Fulbright Scholar, conducting research on traditional medicine in Sochi, Russia. I presented my work at the United States Embassy in Moscow, highlighting cross-cultural perspectives in healthcare and integrative practice.
After completing my grant, I attended New York University (NYU). I then completed a residency at M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston, Texas. I went on to earn my doctorate from the University of San Diego, California, where I focused on digital telehealth treatment for psychiatric care.
I am passionate about working with Veterans and individuals experiencing Depression, Anxiety, and Mood Disorders. In 2023, I completed CIIS training in psychedelic-assisted therapy. In 2025, I was among the first providers in Colorado and in the country to become licensed as a psilocybin facilitator.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, anxious, or struggling to find balance in your daily life? You do not have to navigate it alone. I provide compassionate, personalized mental health care in a supportive and judgment-free environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.
I have been a practicing Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner for five and a half years. Before becoming an NP, I was a psychiatric nurse for seven years, where I worked in in-patient and residential facilities. I worked as a Director of Nursing and am also currently an associate medical director of nursing at a community mental health center. I have experience working with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, ADHD, and more.
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Master’s degree in Psychology and Counseling, my approach is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and a holistic understanding of mental wellness. I believe that mental health care is most effective when it is personalized and tailored to each individual’s unique experiences, challenges, and goals. I work with individuals, couples, and families aged 16 to 65, providing care that is inclusive, affirming, and tailored to each client’s specific needs.
I am a trauma-informed psychiatric nurse practitioner with training from Columbia University and Frontier Nursing University. My background includes psychiatric nursing across all levels of care, as well as six years in community health serving underserved and marginalized populations. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and have extensive experience treating mood and anxiety disorders, trauma-related conditions, and eating disorders, along with psychotic disorders, substance use concerns, and personality-related challenges. My training allows me to integrate medical knowledge, functional and nutritional psychiatry, community services, and psychotherapy to provide comprehensive, personalized care.

Frequently asked questions
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 Durango
Finding the right psychiatrist in Durango 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 therapy. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) also prescribe and manage medication and are widely available in the Durango area. If you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or medication management, either provider type may be a good fit.
Durango is a smaller market, and local psychiatric availability can be limited. Virtual appointments expand your options significantly — you can connect with licensed providers across Colorado from Animas Valley, Bayfield, or anywhere in La Plata County. When comparing providers, consider their specialty focus, whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions, and how their approach aligns with what you're looking for. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you feel more confident about the match.
Psychiatry in Durango 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 you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and your out-of-pocket cost may be as low as $0 per session depending on your specific coverage.
