Hi, I'm Mitch — a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Vanderbilt University. San Diego has been home since 2020, when the Navy first brought me here.

My background includes pediatrics at Children’s Hospital in St. Paul, inpatient psychiatry in Nashville and San Diego, crisis stabilization, and outpatient mental health care. I’ve worked with veterans, college students, LGBTQ+ individuals, people experiencing homelessness, and patients navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, substance use, and severe mental illness.

I primarily provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management while integrating supportive therapy, psychoeducation, and practical coping strategies into visits. My approach is collaborative, direct, and grounded in helping people improve day-to-day functioning and quality of life.

I look forward to getting to know you.

I am a triple board-certified nurse practitioner in psychiatry, family, and women's health, so have experience caring for a diverse client population. I've worked several years in each specialty and settled in psychiatry, where my passion lies. I specialize in the medication management of depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, insomnia, bipolar disorder, and more. Because of my training in women's health, I am uniquely qualified in the psychiatric care of women during pregnancy and postpartum.

His research background in the field of neuroscience was extremely helpful in understanding mental health disorders. His enthusiasm to help patients and families dealing with mental health problems was an important motive to start his training in psychiatry. In 2014, he joined the Psychiatry Residency Program at Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine in Roanoke, Virginia. During his residency training he was working in both academic and community settings with a variety of patient populations. Having special interest in mental health disorder in older adults, after graduating from residency in Adult Psychiatry, he did a fellowship in Geriatric Psychiatry at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) where he was trained more specifically to take care of older adults with mental health disorders. He graduated from Geriatric Psychiatry Fellowship at UCLA in 2019 and shortly after he began his private practice.
