Hi, I’m Hailey. I’m a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and work with children, adolescents, and adults. I help people struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma, and other mental health concerns. I know talking to someone new about your mental health can feel uncomfortable, so I try to keep things relaxed, open, and judgment-free.
I’m pretty straightforward, but I also want you to feel heard. I’ll ask a lot of questions, explain what I’m thinking, and talk through your options instead of making decisions for you. Medication can be helpful, but I don’t think every problem needs another medication. I want us to find a plan that makes sense for you and that you actually feel comfortable with.
The first visit is mostly about getting to know you and figuring out what has been going on. We’ll talk about your symptoms, health history, past medications or treatments, and what you’re hoping to get out of care. For kids and teens, I also want to hear from both them and their parent or caregiver when appropriate. We’ll talk through what I think is going on and decide together what the next step should be.
