INDIVIDUALS
Care That Takes Both Mind and Body Seriously
Anxiety and mood changes rarely happen in a vacuum. It helps to work with someone who can look at your whole picture — medical history, medications, sleep, hormones, life circumstances, and emotional life — rather than treating symptoms in isolation.
As a nurse practitioner with formal psychotherapy training, I offer diagnosis, counseling, and medication management under one roof, so the conversation about whether medication would help and the conversation about what is driving how you feel can happen in the same visit.
WHAT I TREAT
Concerns I Commonly Work With
Anxiety: worry, panic, rumination, and the physical symptoms that come with them
Depression and low mood: including depression that shows up alongside a medical illness or its treatment
Sleep disruption: insomnia and the cycle of poor sleep, low mood, and depleted resilience
Adjustment difficulties: coping with a new diagnosis, a major transition, or a loss
Mood changes connected to hormones: perimenopause, menopause, postpartum changes, and the aftermath of fertility or cancer-related hormonal treatment
Stress and burnout: including caregiver stress and the emotional weight of supporting a loved one through illness
Irritability, emotional reactivity, and feeling not quite like yourself
HOW CARE WORKS
Assessment, Counseling, and Medication — In One Place
We begin with an in-depth consultation: your history, your current situation, any lab results or medical care you already have in place, and what you are hoping will be different. From there, care may include:
Assessment and diagnosis
Discussing, prescribing, and managing medication when it would help, including mental health medications and treatment for related symptoms such as sleep disruption
Counseling that is medically informed, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and ACT and DBT-informed interventions
Practical guidance for sleep, stress, movement, and the habits that sustain wellbeing
Coordination and clear communication with your therapist or medical team when needed
Not everyone needs both medication and counseling. I’m glad to provide medication management on its own, working alongside the therapist you already have — and counseling on its own is equally welcome, even if you never want medication at all.
This practice complements your existing medical care, it does not replace it.
For Referring Physicians and Therapists
I welcome referrals for adults with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, or mood changes, including changes connected to hormones or medical conditions. I can provide medication management alongside a client’s current therapist, or integrated counseling and medication in one place, and I keep referring providers updated.
