I provide psychiatric medication management services that are tailored specifically to you and your needs. My practice revolves around working towards creating solutions that work for your life. Whether you are trying medication for the first time, looking to change medications, or wanting to taper off completely, we will go at your pace and process issues together as they arise. I take a full-person approach and will recommend treatments beyond medication. Medication alone is rarely a full solution so those that are ready to put in the effort to get to the core of the issues will work best with me
It can be uncomfortable to decide to seek out help and to share your worries with someone. I strive to create an environment that is nonjudgemental, confidential, and solution focused. I will integrate therapy into our sessions to cultivate insight, appreciation, and understanding of your past and current circumstances.
Controlled substances are used minimally and conservatively in my practice as many of these are not long term solutions. I work with adults of all races, ethnicities, and LGBTQIA2S+. The best way to get connected with me is to visit our website hhmhc.com and submit your information on the "Appointment Request" form.

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 Psychiatrist in Grand Junction, CO
Finding psychiatrists in Grand Junction starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can also diagnose and prescribe. Therapists focus on talk therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care approach before booking.
In a smaller city like Grand Junction, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger parts of Colorado. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while keeping care accessible from home. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios can help you understand communication style, clinical focus, and what to expect from the first visit.
Psychiatric care in Grand Junction can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book, then review profiles and schedule directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
