Great to meet you!

Hi, I am Denise, a psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and over 14 years of experience in mental health and psychiatry. I provide online psychiatry and telehealth care for teens (12+) and adults in Florida, Arizona, Colorado, and New York.

My services include comprehensive online psychiatric evaluations, accurate diagnosis, medication management, and ongoing follow-up care. I specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and much more.

My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and rooted in respect. I take time to truly listen, understand your story, and explain every option so you feel confident in your care. My style is warm, direct, and judgment-free. I focus on finding the right medication at the right dose, with the fewest side effects, and regular follow-ups let us adjust your plan as your needs change. My strengths include helping complex or treatment-resistant cases finally find relief.

You deserve care that fits your life. Book your online visit today and start feeling like yourself again!

My approach to therapy

My approach is trauma-informed, patient-centered, and built on trust. Every person’s story is different, so I never use a one-size-fits-all plan. During your online psychiatric evaluation, I take time to understand your symptoms, history, and goals before making an accurate diagnosis. From there, we work together on a medication management plan that fits your life, starting low and adjusting carefully to limit side effects. I believe you should understand every part of your care, so I explain options clearly and welcome your questions. Through consistent telehealth follow-ups, I track your progress and fine-tune treatment until you truly feel better.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a comprehensive online psychiatric evaluation in a safe, judgment-free space. We will talk about what brings you in, your current symptoms, mental health history, past medications, and what you hope to achieve. I will ask thoughtful questions and listen closely so I can understand the full picture and provide an accurate diagnosis. Together, we will review your treatment options, and if medication is a good fit, we will create a personalized medication management plan. You will leave with clear next steps, answers to your questions, and a follow-up visit scheduled. My goal is for you to feel heard, hopeful, and supported from day one.
