About Us

I am California licensed psychiatric nurse practitioner and hold a masters degree in psychiatric nursing from the University of California at San Francisco, including national board certification in psychiatry for children and adults.  I have over 25 years of experience in mental health, ranging from work as a nurse practitioner in outpatient clinics, as a nurse manager at Stanford Hospital, as a nurse practitioner and registered nurse in hospital settings, as well as managing a crisis unit.  This range of experience has provided me with a greater understanding of how to identify opportunities for change and suggest goals that reflect a patient's priorities.

I offer a range of services including psychiatric evaluations, individual therapy, medication management, couples counseling, family therapy, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.  I work with you to develop a treatment plan that reflects your needs and priorities. 

Are you frustrated with clinicians not calling you back or whose costs are prohibitive? Have you been wondering if medications may be an appropriate treatment for your persistent mental health symptoms?  I will listen carefully and patiently to you and reflect not only your concerns, but also the strengths and motivations you bring to improving your mental health. I will work “with” you to develop a holistic assessment of your needs, suggest evidence-based treatments, and explain how these address the goals we establish collaboratively.  

I appreciate the strength it takes to seek support in your mental health and look forward to working with you, whether you are just beginning this process or are seeking the skills and experience I bring to this partnership. 

I do not accept any forms of insurance, but I can provide a superbill for your appointments, which allows you to seek partial reimbursement from your treatment.
