Welcome! At Stella Mental Health Irvine, I support adults struggling with complex depression, anxiety, PTSD/PTSI, ADHD, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, and women’s issues. If standard treatments haven't worked, you are our ideal client. As a PMHNP with a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree, I move medication management forward by combining it with effective, science-backed options like TMS, Spravato (esketamine), and ketamine-assisted therapy. At Stella, I provide an integrated, intentional path toward lasting healing, blending cutting-edge science with culturally sensitive care.
I offer comprehensive intake assessments and personalized psychiatric care for adults. I combine advanced pharmacologic medication management with evidence-based treatments, like TMS and ketamine, using CBT & Motivational Interviewing approaches. Grounded in a humanistic, strength-based philosophy, I help you build resilience and achieve real symptom relief.
Healing from trauma, mood disorders, or chronic anxiety takes a collaborative partner who sees the whole you. In our person-centered, trauma-informed space, your voice matters most. If you're ready to explore an advanced, integrated approach to your mental wellness, please reach out. Let's work together to restore balance and move forward.
