Carmel, CA & Telehealth Statewide
Psychiatric care that actually meets you where you are
I'm a doctorally-prepared, dual-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. Here you get longer appointments, integrative care, and someone who actually listens — because you're the expert on your own life, and my job is to bring the clinical expertise while we figure out what works, together.
Areas of Expertise
Specialized care for the conditions that matter most
I focus on a range of conditions I know deeply — so you're working with someone who truly understands your situation, not a generalist stretched thin.
ADHD
Comprehensive evaluation and treatment for children, teens, and adults. Evidence-based medication management plus practical strategies that work in real life.
Anxiety & Depression
From generalized anxiety and panic to major depression and mood disorders — individualized care that goes beyond the prescription pad.
Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
One of few providers in the Monterey Bay area dual-certified in both pediatric and psychiatric care. Accepting patients as young as age 5.
Trauma & PTSD
Experienced care for trauma survivors, including victims of crime and complex PTSD. Steady, non-judgmental, and never rushed — we go at your pace.
Perinatal Mental Health
Specialized care for pregnancy and postpartum anxiety and depression. You didn't start feeling this way overnight — and you don't have to white-knuckle it alone.
College Students & Professionals
Flexible telehealth scheduling built around your life. For the CSUMB student, the burned-out professional, and everyone navigating high-pressure demands.
Why Monterey Bay Psychiatry
A different kind of
psychiatric practice
Mental health care in Monterey County is in short supply — even more so for a clinician with real depth across both children and adults. I built Monterey Bay Psychiatry around a rare dual specialty: I'm doctorally prepared, board-certified in psychiatric mental health nursing, and certified in pediatric primary care nursing. That means genuinely individualized care — care a family doesn't have to split across multiple providers when they need it most.

- Doctorally prepared (DNP) with experience across the lifespan, from age 5 through older adulthood
- Longer, unhurried appointments — more time with you, not less
- Integrative, whole-person care — not just medication management
- Telehealth available throughout all of California
- In-person visits available in Carmel, CA (Monterey County)
