Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 11 mi away • Phoenix, AZ


My approach to care integrates psychotherapy with medication management. I provide therapy for patients whose psychiatric medications I also manage, allowing for a coordinated and personalized treatment plan that supports both emotional and medical aspects of mental health.

With over 20 years of experience as a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner and now as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I am deeply committed to delivering compassionate, comprehensive care tailored to each individual’s unique needs. My approach integrates physical and mental health to support the whole person.

I specialize in:

  • Mental health evaluations and medication management
  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for substance use disorders
  • Gender-affirming hormone therapy

I am dedicated to creating a safe, respectful space where all individuals feel heard, supported, and empowered on their journey to wellness.

Sleep is one of the most vital components of both mental and physical well-being. I’m passionate about helping people improve their sleep quality through evidence-based, personalized care. I provide in-depth diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of sleep disorders, with a special focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)—the gold standard, non-medication approach to treating chronic insomnia. Whether you're struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake up feeling refreshed, I’m here to help you reclaim restful, restorative sleep.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist 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 Scottsdale

Finding the right therapist in Scottsdale starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Providers on Headway specialize in a wide range of concerns — from anxiety, depression, and trauma to relationship challenges and life transitions. Whether you're looking for a licensed professional counselor (LPC), clinical social worker (LCSW), psychologist, or psychiatrist for medication management, you can review detailed provider bios to learn about their approach, specialties, and what to expect in a session.

With 1937 therapists practicing in the Scottsdale area, narrowing your options can take time. Consider what matters most to you — a provider who specializes in a specific concern, someone who offers virtual sessions you can attend from home, or a therapist located near your neighborhood. A free phone consultation can also help you decide if a provider is the right fit before you commit to a session.

Therapy in Scottsdale can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session, and many people pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to see estimated session costs upfront, so you know what to expect before you book.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
