As a California-licensed Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I evaluate and treat individuals of all ages. Prior to starting Logan Wellness, I worked as a clinical nurse at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and public health nurse for the LA County Department of Public Health.
Board certification is obtained by passing a competency-based national exam that assesses the clinical knowledge and skills of nurse practitioners. Certification is awarded by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Specialty Nursing Certification (ABSNC).
I evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe medication when clinically indicated for mental health disorders, including Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, Substance Use, Schizophrenia, and other conditions.
I treat individuals from age 6 years and up. When clinically appropriate, appointments are conducted via telehealth. Should you require a higher level of outpatient care, I will recommend you seek treatment from a physician.
There is no "one size fits all" in psychiatric care. Treatment plans are individualized to specific needs.
Depression and anxiety are the two most prevalent mental health disorders. An individualized treatment plan begins with an accurate diagnosis, which may include medication. Rediscover hope, motivation, and a joy for living.
Many individuals experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Fear, intrusive thoughts, disrupted sleep, and loss of hope do not need to overpower your life. These symptoms can be managed with a medication treatment plan when appropriate.
Attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) begins in childhood, and symptoms can persist in adulthood. ADHD can interfere with school and work performance, impact relationships, lead to substance use, and result in a decreased quality of life. It is fortunate there are several treatment options.

Beginning January 1, 2026, Logan Wellness Advanced Nursing Practice Corp. will discontinue prescribing controlled substance medications through telehealth appointments. This will be practice-wide, including existing and future clients. The practice is planning to relocate to the Palm Springs area early in the new year. Telehealth care will continue for clients in California and Arizona from the new location.
