Great to meet you!

Hi! I'm Anita. As a dual board-certified Nurse Practitioner in Psychiatry and Family medicine, I have over 9 years experience helping patients regain clarity and peace of mind. My integrative approach combines evidence-based medication management along with holistic interventions, going beyond symptom relief to explore the underlying factors contributing to your challenges. By honoring the mind-body connection, recognizing the impact of stress, and supporting your innate capacity for healing, I strive to provide personalized care that promotes lasting wellness.

My approach to therapy

I provide medication management along with holistic treatment plans tailored to each individuals unique history, biology, environment, and goals. Using evidence based principles, I provide psychiatric evaluations, med management, nutritional guidance, and lifestyle optimization. My special interests are mood/bipolar disorders, anxiety, OCD, women's health issues, and sleep disorders.

I take my time to truly listen and comprehend the issues and concerns of my clients before providing any recommendations. All my clients can expect professionalism, active listening, and empathy from me during our sessions.
