I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with training in both medication management and psychotherapy. My goal is to create a space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. I have experience treating concerns such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, mood disorders, and substance use. I believe care should feel collaborative, practical, and focused on helping you feel more stable and confident in your daily life.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right psychiatrist in Wyoming 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 talk therapy. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or medication management, a psychiatrist may be the right fit. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also prescribe and manage medication and are another option available through Headway.
With Wyoming's vast geography and limited number of practicing psychiatrists, many residents face long wait times or drives to reach a provider. Virtual appointments can make it easier to connect with a psychiatrist from anywhere in the state — whether you're in Cheyenne, Casper, Sheridan, or a more rural area. When evaluating providers, consider their experience with your specific concerns, whether they offer virtual or in-person visits, and how their approach aligns with your preferences. Reading a provider's bio can help you decide if they're a good match before you book.
Psychiatry in Wyoming can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
