Most psychiatric appointments are fifteen minutes. The model has reasons — insurance reimbursement, panel size — but none of those reasons are about the patient. My first appointment is sixty minutes because what I am trying to do in the first visit (full history, medication review, treatment planning, collaborative decision-making) cannot be done in fifteen. Follow-ups are thirty or sixty minutes depending on what the work requires. Read the full essay →
I tailor every prescription to the person sitting in front of me — your genetics, medical history, lifestyle, prior medication response — rather than to what works on average. The goal is to minimize trial-and-error prescribing by making the first medication decision a considered one.

She holds a Master of Science in Nursing with a focus on Psychiatric-Mental Health and is certified through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).

8215 S Eastern Ave Suite 109, Las Vegas, NV 89123. In-person visits are held on Tuesdays.
In-person visits at the Las Vegas office are held on Tuesdays. Telehealth may be available on other days depending on your needs, treatment plan, and Nevada telehealth eligibility. We'll discuss the right option for you during scheduling. For some patients, a combination of in-person initial evaluation and telehealth follow-ups works well.
Your first visit is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, typically sixty minutes. We review your symptoms, your mental health and medical history, your current medications, your treatment goals, and any concerns you have. After the assessment, we discuss impressions and treatment options together.
Initial-appointment availability varies week to week. Our administrative team at MTG will give you the soonest available window when you call. Most new patients are scheduled within one to three weeks. For patients in active need, we always do our best to find a sooner option.
Medication management is the ongoing process of prescribing, monitoring, and adjusting psychiatric medications based on your individual response. It includes a detailed review of your medication history, careful prescribing of medications that fit your specific conditions and biology, and follow-up appointments to assess effectiveness and side effects. The goal is to minimize trial-and-error prescribing — not just write a prescription and hope.
Short-term, focused therapy for specific concerns — coping skills, anxiety symptoms, adjustment challenges, or a particular transition where targeted support can make a measurable difference. It is not the same as long-term weekly therapy, intensive trauma therapy, or DBT programs. When those are the right fit, we coordinate referrals to providers who specialize in them.

Some patients need more intensive care than outpatient appointments can provide — intensive outpatient programs (IOP), partial hospitalization programs (PHP), or inpatient psychiatric care. If that's the right fit for what you need, we help with referral coordination to programs in the Las Vegas area.
