I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. This means I am trained to treat both physical health and mental health. WIN-WIN! I started off as a combat medic in the Army and after my enlistment went back to school for nursing. I have been in the nursing field for nearly 20 years, a nurse practitioner for six years and working in addiction medicine and mental health, specifically, for over the last two years. This is my PASSION and I feel like I am saving people’s lives while also treating them with kindness and compassion.
I found passion for mental health while working with children at an autism summer camp that I have worked for for 15 years. Mental health is a major component that makes us happy, sad, or just ok. I am here to help you meet your goals and help guide you along the way. I have experience in mood disorders, trauma, autism & learning differences, and sleep.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Bellevue
Finding the right psychiatrist in Bellevue starts with understanding which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. If you are looking for support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a prescriber may be a useful place to start. You can also look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, background, and approach match what you want to discuss in care.
Bellevue has mental health care options across neighborhoods like Downtown, Factoria, and Crossroads, though local psychiatry availability can vary by schedule and office location. Virtual appointments can expand your options, especially if you want to compare psychiatrists in Washington beyond the offices closest to you. Psychiatric appointments for medication management 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 helps to read bios for details on appointment style, specialties, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Bellevue can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and see your estimated session cost before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients and match your insurance, preferences, and schedule. You can browse profiles, review bios, 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.
