You’re the one who usually has everything under control, but lately, the "strong" version of you feels like a mask that’s getting too heavy to wear. Whether you’re a mother wondering why you feel detached from the life you worked so hard to build, or a parent exhausted by the cycle of ADHD-related challenges—you don’t have to carry this alone.
I provide a warm, judgment-free space where you can stop surviving and start thriving. My approach is patient-centered, trauma-informed, and evidence-based, tailored to move you toward a life where you feel present, connected, and capable.
I specialize in:
- Perinatal & Maternal Mental Health: Navigating the "new reality" of motherhood.
- High-Achieving Professionals: Managing burnout, perfectionism, and "mental load."
- Neurodiversity-Affirming Care: Supporting parents and children navigating ADHD and behavioral hurdles.
Why Work With Me?
I offer a "cozy" office experience in Houston, TX, and convenient virtual care across 7 states ( DE, FL, GA, IA, KS, MT, and TX). My goal is to make mental health easy, accessible and relatable.
Hi, I’m Miranda, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
I provide supportive, evidence-based care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and life transitions. My approach combines medication management with a therapy-informed style so you feel heard—not rushed.
I have a special interest in women’s mental health, including pregnancy and postpartum support.
My goal is simple: help you feel better in a way that fits your life.
I am a licensed APRN ,PMHNP with training in both general medicine and psychiatry, offering a comprehensive and integrative approach to patient care. My background allows me to understand the close connection between physical health and mental well-being, and I strive to treat each patient as a whole person rather than focusing on isolated symptoms.
I completed my medical training in general medicine and later specialized in psychiatry, gaining experience in diagnosing and managing a wide range of medical and mental health conditions. My clinical approach combines evidence-based treatments with a compassionate, patient-centered perspective.
As a doctoral-prepared, dual board-certified psychiatric mental health and adult gerontology acute care nurse practitioner, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to self-care, happiness and success. Congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for several years with my main focus on clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression and PTSD.

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 Florida
Finding the right psychiatrist in Florida starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and monitor your progress over time. If you're looking for support for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, or bipolar disorder, or want to discuss care options, a qualified mental health professional can help you determine the right type of care. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also prescribe and manage medication and are another option available on Headway.
Florida has a large and growing network of mental health providers, but narrowing your search can still feel overwhelming — especially across a state this size. Whether you're in Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, or a smaller city, consider what matters most: a provider who specializes in your specific concerns, offers virtual or in-person sessions, or speaks your preferred language. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before your first appointment.
Psychiatry sessions in Florida can be expensive without coverage, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Your out-of-pocket cost may be as low as $0 per session, though costs vary based on your location and plan. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
