I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing telehealth care across Texas.

I have a very mellow, approachable style, and my main goal is to help my patients reach their goals. Many of the people I work with feel like they haven’t been truly heard before, or that medication was presented as their only option. I take time to listen and make sure you feel comfortable, understood, and involved in your care. I also grew up in an immigrant household, where mental health wasn’t always talked about or seen as an option, and that experience really shaped how I work with my patients today.

I approach every person with compassion, patience, and curiosity. I take the time to understand your story, your stressors, and what matters most to you, so your care is never one-size-fits-all.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in San Angelo
Finding psychiatrists in San Angelo starts with understanding the type of care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy and support. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, a prescriber may be part of your care plan. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, background, and approach to medication management so you can choose someone whose experience matches your needs.
In a smaller city like San Angelo, local psychiatry appointments may be more limited than in larger Texas markets. Virtual visits can expand your options while still helping you connect with a licensed psychiatrist who accepts new patients. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber, so it can help to compare availability, appointment format, and consultation options before booking. Reading bios can also show how each psychiatrist communicates, what conditions they commonly support, and what to expect in the first appointment.
Psychiatric care in San Angelo can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before care begins. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your needs, verify your insurance, view estimated costs upfront, and book 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.
