We all tend to seek help when what we are doing is no longer working, or we feel stuck , dissatisfied or our life is out of control, or someone we care about says that we should get help. I view these pivotal moments as potential moments of alchemy, if we are willing to be mindful with what is, staying with our experience and working through it. Remaining mindFUL allows the experience to teach us what we are supposed to learn, if we are open to it. I am here to support you as you go through your journey, face your challenges, identify patterns with you that keep you feel stuck so that you can be more free to be your best self.

As a double board-certified nurse practitioner in both family and psychiatric practice, I have dedicated my career to providing holistic care since 2015. Beginning my journey in family medicine, I spent several years at a community healthcare clinic, where I encountered patients from underserved populations. It became clear that many of patients faced not only complex medical issues but also severe mental health challenges that often went untreated. This realization motivated me to pursue a psychiatric specialty, enhancing my ability to serve my patients effectively. I earned my psychiatric degree from the University of St. Francis.

FAQ - Depression Psychiatrists
How can a psychiatrist help with depression?
Depression can be a deeply challenging and often debilitating condition that affects an individual's ability to function in day-to-day life, influencing everything from personal relationships and work performance to motivation, energy levels, and overall emotional well-being. However, psychiatrists can help individuals experiencing depression and related conditions—such as major depressive disorder (MDD), seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and postpartum depression—by providing a combination of psychotherapy and medication management. Psychiatrists who specialize in depression are typically trained in a variety of therapeutic modalities that are proven to support recovery from depressive symptoms, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and interpersonal therapy (IPT).

What can you expect from the treatment process?
The process of working with a psychiatrist usually begins with an evaluation or assessment, which allows the psychiatrist to understand the client’s medical history and current symptoms. This initial assessment serves to help develop a treatment plan and can help the psychiatrist assess whether a client may benefit from medication, talk therapy, or a combination of both. As treatment progresses, psychiatrists continue to monitor the individual’s response to therapy and any prescribed medications; they may also work in collaboration with other mental health professionals on a client's care team, such as therapists, psychologists, or social workers, in order to ensure a client receives coordinated care. In many cases, individuals meet with their psychiatrist on a weekly or biweekly basis for several months or more, which allows enough time to evaluate treatment outcomes and for medications—such as antidepressants—to take full effect. For some clients, particularly those with less severe symptoms or more focused goals, shorter-term therapy may be offered, especially when the psychiatrist is trained in structured approaches like solution-focused therapy or brief therapy models.

How to find the right psychiatrist for depression?
Given the prevalence of depression, many psychiatrists possess considerable experience treating it. Still, it is important to find a provider who is a good personal and clinical fit. Resources like Psychology Today’s online directory make it easy to locate psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in depression and related conditions. The directory includes filters that allow users to search by specialty, cost, location, and identity preferences. When considering a provider, it can be helpful to ask about their specific experience treating depression, their approach to therapy and medication, and whether they offer care in a convenient format—either in-person or via telehealth. Additionally, for some individuals, especially those from marginalized communities, finding a psychiatrist who shares or has familiarity with their cultural, racial, or gender identity can make a significant difference in the effectiveness of care.
