Hi, I'm Mitch — a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Vanderbilt University. San Diego has been home since 2020, when the Navy first brought me here.

My background includes pediatrics at Children’s Hospital in St. Paul, inpatient psychiatry in Nashville and San Diego, crisis stabilization, and outpatient mental health care. I’ve worked with veterans, college students, LGBTQ+ individuals, people experiencing homelessness, and patients navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, substance use, and severe mental illness.

I primarily provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management while integrating supportive therapy, psychoeducation, and practical coping strategies into visits. My approach is collaborative, direct, and grounded in helping people improve day-to-day functioning and quality of life.

I look forward to getting to know you.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in San Diego

Finding ADHD therapists in San Diego starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapy for ADHD may focus on executive function, planning, time management, emotional regulation, or cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD. Medication management is a separate type of care offered by psychiatrists and other qualified prescribers, and some people look for therapy, medication support, or both. Adult ADHD and pediatric ADHD can also call for different experience, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties match your age, goals, and day-to-day concerns.

San Diego has many ADHD therapists across neighborhoods like Hillcrest, North Park, La Jolla, Mission Valley, and Downtown, which can make narrowing your search take more time. Consider practical fit alongside specialty, including appointment availability, whether the therapist offers in-person or virtual sessions, and whether they have experience with concerns that often appear alongside ADHD, such as anxiety or depression. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach, communication style, and whether they mention ADHD testing, ADHD evaluation, or support for diagnosis-related questions.

ADHD therapy in San Diego can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare virtual and in-person options. You can browse therapist profiles, check fit, 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.
