FAQs

Unlike traditional psychiatry, which often focuses only on symptoms and medication, integrative psychiatry takes a whole-person approach—looking at the mind, body, and environment together. I combine medication (when appropriate) and talk therapy with attention to lifestyle habits, stress patterns, and underlying physiological factors such as inflammation, hormone imbalances, and nutrient deficiencies. This may include specialized lab testing, supplement planning, and functional strategies to help uncover root causes and support healing from multiple angles. I believe that sustainable change comes from understanding the full picture of what makes you uniquely you.

I’m licensed in Arizona and, per regulations, can only see patients who are physically located within the state at the time of their appointment. I currently offer virtual appointments five days a week through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, and also see clients in person two days a week at my office in Chandler.

Both Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners and Psychiatrists are trained to assess, diagnose, and treat mental health conditions using medications and therapy. The key difference is in their training models: psychiatrists are trained in medicine, while nurse practitioners are trained in nursing—which emphasizes whole-person care, communication, and patient-centered support.

As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I bring both clinical expertise and a relational approach that considers your full experience—not just your diagnosis. Whether you work with a psychiatrist or a nurse practitioner, what matters most is finding someone who listens, collaborates, and helps you feel supported.
