Hi, I’m Becca.

Reaching out for mental health care can feel like a big step. Once you’re here, it shouldn’t have to feel hard. You don’t need to have the right words or know exactly what you need. We can figure that out together.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a doctorate in nursing, and I work with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, life transitions, neurodivergence, and the complicated stuff that doesn’t always fit neatly into a diagnostic box.

I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy. More than anything, I believe good mental health care starts with actually listening to you. I want to know what’s working, what isn’t, what you’ve already tried, and what you want your life to feel like.

You are more than a diagnosis, and your care should feel that way.

I believe good psychiatric care starts with a real conversation, not a prescription pad. My approach is practical, collaborative, and grounded in evidence, with plenty of room for humor and honesty along the way. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or simply feeling unlike yourself, I want to understand what’s going on beyond the diagnosis. We’ll talk openly about treatment options, including medication and therapy, and figure out what makes sense for you. No judgment, no one-size-fits-all treatment plans, and definitely no feeling like you’re just another appointment on my schedule.

Your first session with me is mostly about getting to know you, not just your diagnosis, your symptoms, or the medications you’ve tried. We’ll talk about what brought you in, what’s been hard lately, what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what you’re hoping will actually change.

I’m pretty laid-back, so expect a real conversation. You can laugh, cry, ramble, lose your train of thought, or tell me you have absolutely no idea where to start. You don’t have to show up with the “right” words or have everything figured out.

We’ll talk through treatment options together, and I’ll make sure you understand what I’m recommending and why. My goal is for you to leave feeling like someone actually listened to you, and with a plan that makes sense for your life, not just your diagnosis.
