Many of the people I see are also dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or burnout after years of pushing themselves to function in systems that never quite fit.
Many neurodivergent adults spend years explaining themselves to providers who don’t quite get it. My practice is intentionally neurodivergent-friendly, which means you don’t have to convince me of anything. If you’ve learned to mask, over-function, or push through at a cost, you’re not alone — and you’re not broken.

I work with adults, adolescents, and couples who want clarity, steadiness, and meaningful progress, to be held and witnessed in their healing by a guiding presence. As care has become increasingly quick, impersonal, and interchangeable, my patients seek something more substantive: a doctor and healer grounded in modern medicine and psychological depth. I offer nuanced assessment, careful listening, and tailored guidance that help clients regain hopeand move through life with greater alignment and capacity.

ADHD can make even the simplest tasks feel scattered and frustrating—leaving you questioning your capabilities and constantly trying to “get it together.” Add the layer of chronic illness or complex medical issues, and daily life can feel like a never-ending balancing act. These overlapping struggles can quietly chip away at your energy, confidence, and sense of purpose. I hold a master’s in nursing from UT Arlington (2022) and earned my PMHNP from California Baptist University (2024), and I specialize in treating ADHD, co-occurring medical conditions, and women’s mental health through a holistic lens.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and insomnia using a trauma-informed approach.
My ideal clients are people who have been quietly struggling — lying awake at night, feeling hopeless, or blindsided by panic attacks that make everyday life feel overwhelming. Many have been managing on their own for a while, unsure if what they're experiencing is "bad enough" to seek help. It is. I work with adults across California via telehealth who are ready to take a step toward feeling better, even if they're not sure where to start. Together, we build a care plan that meets you exactly where you are.

FAQ - Trauma and PTSD Psychiatrists
How can psychiatrists help with trauma and PTSD?
Trauma and conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are characterized by distressing symptoms like flashbacks, insomnia, intrusive memories, hopelessness, and irritability in the wake of a major event. Trauma can also result from a chronic series of events, resulting in a condition known as complex trauma. Not all individuals who experience a traumatic event seek psychiatric support or gain a diagnosis for a trauma-related disorder; indeed, many individuals with strong social supports and/or coping skills, which can contribute to resilience, can manage complex feelings after a traumatic event on their own. However, many individuals do benefit from seeing a psychiatrist for medication or other therapeutic support, particularly if they are experiencing acute symptoms or are particularly vulnerable to trauma due to other emotional conditions or challenges.

How do psychiatrists treat trauma and PTSD?
Psychiatrists can help individuals struggling with trauma by prescribing medication that helps to reduce the intensity of symptoms. Medications are often most effective, however, when used in conjunction with evidence-based therapy interventions, such as Exposure Therapy or Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). These forms of treatment help individuals overcome trauma-related symptoms through guided exposure to trauma-related triggers in a controlled therapeutic environment. In some cases, psychiatrists will conduct these sessions with clients, or they may work with a client's therapist or counselor who offers these services. This team-based approach to care for trauma can be particularly useful, as can ongoing maintenance sessions with a psychiatrist even following an initial period of more intensive treatment, since many individuals with trauma or PTSD may experience relapses or the return of symptoms even after initial progress. In such cases, having a psychiatrist who can adjust the treatment plan or medication in accordance with a client's needs can be an important part of maintaining long-term recovery.

How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in trauma and PTSD?
The Psychology Today online directory can be a helpful resource to search for psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in trauma, PTSD, and related conditions. In addition to searching for psychiatrists who specialize in these conditions, you may consider searching by psychiatrists who specialize in working with a particular population, such as veterans or children. When searching for a provider, ask about their specific experience treating symptoms of trauma and what their approach to therapy and medication is. It is also important to determine whether their office is accessible (either close-by or via telehealth) and if they accept your insurance.
