Caring for Mental Health
Mission
To provide compassionate, personalized psychiatric care that integrates the science of medicine with the wisdom of whole-person healing—supporting individuals of all ages and genders in achieving lasting mental wellness and resilience.
Background
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 15 years in healthcare, I am passionate about addressing the unique mental health needs of each person I care for. My journey has been shaped by my current role as an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) in Midwifery and Women's Health, where I have had the privilege of supporting women through some of the most profound transitions in their lives: pregnancy, birth, postpartum and menopause.
​
Through this lens, I saw critical a gap: psychiatric care during these stages is often insufficient or inaccessible. Many women face mental health challenges related to perinatal, reproductive, and hormonal shifts, but too often, they’re met with stigma, misdiagnosis, or limited care options.
​
This realization led me to expand my scope of practice. I now offer compassionate, evidence-informed psychiatric care, rooted in both functional medicine and my background in women’s health. My goal is to support individuals of all ages and genders who are seeking holistic, personalized support grounded in medical expertise.
What is Functional Psychiatry?
Functional psychiatry, offers a holistic and individualized approach to mental health care. Unlike traditional models that often focus primarily on symptom management, this method seeks to uncover and address the root causes of emotional and cognitive challenges.
By examining how lifestyle factors- such as nutrition, sleep, movement, and stress -interact with biological processes like genetics, gut health, hormonal balance, and inflammation, we create a more complete picture of your mental well-being.
This approach might involve comprehensive assessments, including advanced lab testing, to identify imbalances or dysfunctions that contribute to conditions like anxiety, depression, or ADHD.
Treatment plans are highly personalized and can include psychotropic medications such as antidepressants, as well as nutritional guidance, targeted supplements, and psychotherapy- all tailored to optimize your overall mental and physical health.
By honoring the deep connection between body and mind, functional psychiatry aims not just to relieve symptoms, but to promote long-term resilience, vitality, and healing.
