Great to meet you!

Hi there, I'm Akpene, and I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner specializing in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I am deeply committed to creating a space that honors diversity, and I warmly welcome clients from all walks of life and backgrounds. I believe that everyone has a unique story worth hearing, and my goal is to walk alongside you as a trusted partner on your wellness journey. My background in healthcare ranges, I am also a Family Nurse Practitioner, and I've worked with Veterans, in Womens Health, and in Med Surg. When I am not working, you can usually find me cooking up a new recipe, spending quality time with my friends and family, or enjoying the great outdoors.

My approach to therapy

My primary focus is providing thoughtful medication management, but I also weave in supportive talk therapy and mental health education to ensure you feel fully equipped. I believe that treatment is never one-size-fits-all, so we will work together to build a personalized plan that honors your specific lifestyle and goals. I also deeply respect and welcome the integration of spiritual beliefs into your care, especially if faith is an important anchor in your life. Many people find incredible strength and resilience through their faith, and I am honored to support that part of your healing process.

What you can expect from me

During our very first session, you can expect a safe, warm, and completely nonjudgmental space where you can share your story at your own pace. We will sit down as a team to explore what you are experiencing and begin mapping out the best path forward together. If you are currently struggling to balance the demands of life or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and depression, please know that you do not have to carry this alone. I am here to help you navigate these challenges and look forward to supporting you on your path to mental wellness. If you are ready to take that next step, please feel free to reach out and schedule a session with me today.
