Great to meet you!

Welcome to Mind Ease Integrative Psychiatry!

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe mental health is crucial for stability and contentment. Taking the first step towards help is an important achievement, so congratulations! My practice focuses on treating females aged 10-65 dealing with depression, anxiety, postpartum depression, PMDD, menopause, bipolar disorder, and undiagnosed/untreated ADHD.

My approach to therapy

My mindset is that you can and will improve. As an integrative psychiatric provider, I seek balance between mind, body, and spirit. I combine evidence-informed Western medicine with complementary approaches in a responsible and ethical way. My goal is to use both medical knowledge and wisdom to determine when medication is helpful—and when it might be harmful.

What you can expect from me

Collaboration means working together. In our first meeting, I'll conduct a thorough intake to understand your history and current challenges. Together, we'll create a realistic, therapeutic, and evidence-based treatment plan.
